European PTA is challenging student scientists to participate in our first ever virtual science fair, sponsored by the Jacobsen Innovation and Creativity Group (JICG)! The goal of the JICG is to encourage all school age children to be creative and explore different areas of STEM while having fun. 

This year the Jacobsen Innovation and Creativity Group offer two different challenges for our students, a Frankenstein Technology Challenge and a Recycle Reuse Challenge.



Frankenstein Technology Challenge:

Students have three options within the Frankenstein Technology Challenge:

1. Combine two or more pieces of technology to make a single item that is both improved
and beneficial to others.

2. Take a single piece of technology to improve and become more beneficial to others.

3. Create a brand-new piece of technology.

Here are some questions to think about for this challenge:

  • What pieces of technology can you combine together?
  • How can you improve the current function of the technology?
  • How does the improvements benefit society and/or the environment?
  • Is this improvement practical?


Recycle Re-use Challenge:


Students are encouraged to look around their home and recycle bins and determine how items
can either be recycled and reused to create something new or determine a better method to
recycle these items to help our environment.


Here are some questions to think about challenge:

  • What items are you using in your project?
  • How has your project helped the environment by recycling and reusing the items?
  • Is your project an improvement on current methods or a new and innovative approach?
  • What STEAM branch have you re-used or recycled your material? (STEAM= Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math


Virtual Science Fair Rules:


  • Open to all students (virtual, home schooled, and Brick and Mortar students) within the European PTA and DoDEA communities.
 
  • Students may only enter one category.
 
  • One member of the student’s household most be a PTA member (verified) or pay an entry fee of $5. (All of the entry fees will go to support the EPTA Scholarships that will be awarded this spring.)  
 
  • All Registration Forms must be turned in by April 21, 2021 (along with any paid fees for non-PTA members). Once you have submitted your registration form, we will provide a link to upload required items. 
 
  • Completed projects must be submitted by April 28, 2021 via the upload link that will be provided after registration.
 
  • Picture (drawing or photography) of Project/Prototype (working or non-working). You may also record a video of your entry and discussing project. NOTE: You are not required to buy a kit to create the project 
 
  • Detailed description of the Project: 
    • Materials used 
    • Why you chose this project 
    • Benefits of this project 
 
  • Winners will be awarded one per level based on the following groups:
    • Elementary Level (Kindergarten- 5th grade)
    • Middle School Level (6 th -8 th grade)
    • High School Level (9 th -12 th grade)
