Displaying your project
:: The Display Board
Share this page:
It's really important to know how to show off your project in the best way possible. The way you present your project shows how much effort you put into it. You want to make sure the judges can see everything they need to know about your project. If your display is not good, it could ruin all the hard work you did. To make a great display, you will need a backboard, your project report, and anything else that shows what you did - like models you made, things you studied, reports, pictures, surveys, etc. You have to make sure the display looks nice and is interesting. It should have enough information, but not so much that the judges are overwhelmed or distracted.

When creating your display board, make sure you follow the size and shape requirements provided. It's usually best to use a three-sided board for your display. You can make your own display board using materials such as sturdy cardboard or wooden panels, or you can purchase a pre-made display board from a do-it-yourself or office supplies store, or from a science supply company. Keep in mind that pre-made display boards may only be available in white or black, so you may need to cover them with paper or cloth to change the color. When adding items to your display board, choose your colors carefully to ensure that your project stands out against the background. If you're not sure what colors to use, consider using neutral pastel colors.
