SLVSEF moves to the University of Utah
The Salt Lake Valley Science and Engineering Fair has moved from The Leonardo to the new Center for Science and Mathematics Education (CSME) at the University of Utah. This move is a great opportunity for the fair and we are very excited about the potential for growth and changes for SLVSEF.
Senior Division Project Pre-Approval
Due to the high number of mistakes and disqualifications on senior division project forms, the SLVSEF Scientific Review Committee (SRC) will be pre-approving all senior division paperwork this year. Senior division students (9th-12th grade) should submit copies of their completed forms via fax (1+866-255-6028) mail:
Center for Math and Science Education
155 South 1400 East, Room 218
Salt Lake City, UT 84112-0090
or by dropping them off at the CMSE! We are in the John Widtsoe Building just east of Kingsbury Hall in President's Circle. (click here for a map)
All students should submit copies of their forms (no originals please) by January 31, 2010. Once forms are submitted, notification will be sent to the student within 10 business days with any required changes that need to be made. For questions, please call Jody at (801) 585-9109.
Elementary & Junior Division Paperwork
Elementary (grades 5-6) and Junior (grades 7-8) Division projects DO NOT need to have their projects pre-approved and do not need to turn in any paperwork. Students will register online beginning February 15th with the user name and password they will receive from their school or district science fair.
Computer Based Projects
If you are interested in doing a computer based science fair project but don't know where to start, check out the great ideas HERE from the Computer Science Department at the University of Utah!
Projects that make it to SLVSEF that involve writing computer software will also qualify for the Symantec Scholarship of $10,000 applied to the college of your choice in Utah!
