Does your project include human subjects, living organisms, or viruses? If so, you must fill out this form by January 15, 2020.
If you are in middle or high school and want to attend the Metro Science Fair, you MUST fill out their forms for testing human/animal subjects. Visit https://clas.ucdenver.edu/denversciencefair/forms-and-rules
Registration Steps:
- Read the documents on the “Guidelines and Resources” page. Make sure you look at the rubric and guidelines!
- Plan out your project. Write a testable question and a procedure – and then check in with your teacher to make sure that your project is scientific, safe, and well-planned.
- If your project is going to include humans/vertebrates/bacteria, please fill out this form first. This will send your project idea to the Science Fair team to make sure all humans/animals will be safe.
- Once you receive the okay (or if your project does NOT include humans/animals/bacteria), please fill out this form by January 31st, 2020.
- Optional: If you are in 6th – 12th grades and you think you want to go to the Denver Metro Science Fair, you must register for their fair by January 17th, 2020, which is before the DPS Fair. More information here: https://clas.ucdenver.edu/denversciencefair/registration.
