Experience in making oral and written presentations
Developing tenacity and confidence … It doesn’t work; …It doesn’t work; …It works! … EUREKA!
Increased self-esteem
Discovering that there are many good science fair projects
Helping you decide which career to enter
Developing interviewing skills
High school science fair projects are accomplishments to put on a college application or job resume
Discovering that science is fun (Of all the benefits to be derived from completing a science project, discovering that science is fun is by far the most important.), and
Your completed science project can continue as a basis for further research while you attend college. (Keep in mind that most science projects are not an end per se, but suggest more research culminating in another science project)
