How to Enter the STEAM Expo

 

** PLEASE NOTE, PROJECT REGISTRATION FOR THE 2023 STEAM EXPO IS NOW CLOSED! **

​

Any Capital Region student in grades 9 through 12 is eligible to enter a project in the STEAM Expo. Students can be from public, private, independent, or parochial schools. Home schooled students may also participate.

 

Students can enter either as an individual, with a partner, or in a small group, but no more than 4 students are allowed in a group.
 

Please note, all students involved in the project must register for the STEAM Expo and be present at the Expo. No project may be registered that involves the work of more than 4 students.

​

If all members of a project are not present at the Expo, the team will not be considered for a monetary award. The team may still showcase their project, receive feedback from the judges, and be considered for the People's Choice Trophy.

 

Every student team requires a sponsoring teacher or mentor. The teacher/mentor’s role is to help guide the students toward a more robust project and to review the project for accuracy and completeness. The teacher/mentor should also review the rules and the rubric with the students to ensure the project satisfies all requirements.

 

Due to space limitations, the number of registered projects will be capped at 40. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis… so register early and no later than Friday, April 21, 2023!

​

All students participating in the STEAM Expo must sign a Waiver of Liability and complete a Medical Release. To download the Waiver of Liability, click here. To download the Medical Release, click here.
