Your Project...
... is what the fair is all about: the ideas, the tinkering, trials, errors,
successes, and finally the presentation that brings it all together. This section
of the BASEF site will help you from conception and planning, to execution and
registration, to display and judging.
Don't neglect to read the rules and regulations; they don't make for a very exciting read, but they're very important: the rules are there to make sure that the fair is safe and fair. And breaking the rules could mean having to get rid of part of your display, or even having your project disqualified.
Where to Start? How to Proceed?
