Projects should be designed and created by students. Some adult guidance is allowed, but it must be clear that all work entered by students was done by the students. Students will submit their project digitally before for judging. Students will also attend the expo in order to answer additional questions from the judges.
All projects submitted to the CISD Technology Fair must comply with the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). The judges of the CISD Technology Fair have the right to disqualify any project for the following reasons: project does not follow acceptable use policy; or project is inappropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many projects can I create? Students may only enter 1 project.
May I create a project with a partner? Students may complete the project by themselves or may work with partners. The grade level marked should be the grade of the oldest student in the team. Prizes will be awarded per project not per participant.
Can adults help me with my project? Yes, it is perfectly acceptable to receive help from others when working on your project. However, the project is to be a work by the student or student team. Judges will expect a student to explain any aspect of a project's function. If someone else helps you do something, be sure that you understand how to explain it to the judges.
How are the projects judged? You will submit your project digitally before the expo. A team of judges will evaluate your project. On the expo day you must be available so that judges are able to ask you any additional questions they may have about your project or how you created it.
How do I submit my project? After you register your project, you will be emailed directions for submitting a digital copy of your project.
Do I have to stay the whole time? Students projects should be set up as soon as the judging time begins and remain with the project during judging. Once the judging is over students may stay with their project or view the rest of the technology expo. We ask students to leave projects up until then end of the technology expo.
What do I need to bring to the fair? You must provide a device for demonstrating your project creation. This can be the computer or mobile device you created your project with or another device that has the same software you used to create your project.
If I created the project with a team, do all of us have to come? At least one member of the team must come to present the project. No one but the students who created the project may present.
What does it mean to "cite" my work? If you use any clip-art, music, photos, text, or other material in your project that you did not personally create yourself, you must list the material on the project submission form that you are required to fill out. If your material is determined to be 'in the public domain' and is available to use for free, you must list it and label it 'public domain.' if the material is not freely available, then you must obtain permission to use it from the owner/creator. Use of copyrighted material without permission will result in disqualification. These materials must be listed on the form and the written permission must be presented to the judges.
