Registration - Online and In Person

There are two stages to registration: Online registration and the in-person Registration Night.

1. Online Registration: When you register online, you can print out your registration form, and most of your paperwork and materials and a spot on a table will be waiting for you when you bring your project to Registration Night.

Online registration is not yet open for 2012.

If you register online, your entry fee will be waived!

2. Registration Night: Registration Night is when you submit your paperwork, pay the entry fee, go through the safety check, set up your project, and receive your Science Fair T-shirt. Senior High students must also turn in their paperwork for their final Scientific Review, if needed.

Registration Night Date: Friday, March 23, 2012.

Time: 5:00 -- 8:30 PM

Stop by any time during these hours. Allow about an hour to complete the registration process, but please be aware that this may take more or less time, depending on how busy it is when you arrive. Please do not arrive before 5:00PM, unless you would like to help us set up! Get registration schedule (PDF)

Form required for EVERYBODY: Every entrant needs to bring a completed registration form to Registration Night on March 23. If you registered online, you may have printed this form. If you did not register online, if you had trouble printing, if you lost your printed form, or if your dog ate your form, just fill out a 2012 Registration Form by hand and bring it with you to Registration Night. Be sure to get it signed!

 

Late registration is available on March 24 only for those students who arrive in Anchorage too late for regular registration. Teachers/chaperones are asked to Contact Us if late registration is required.

Hint! Prepare for your project's safety check!

When you set up your project at Registration, it must have a safety inspection. You could prepare for this ahead of time. These pages extracted from the Safety Inspector Training slide show (1.3MB PDF) describe items that may not be on your project display.

Remember, you're not going to do your project on the spot at the Fair. You do the project ahead of time, and at the Fair, you describe what you did. Many of the items that are banned from your display (such as glass tubing and plants) are allowed to be used during your research, but just take pictures of them for your display. The judges care that you can express your understanding of your project; they do not need you to reproduce the work in front of them.
