Contact OEF if you are interested in being an Exhibitor at the 2012 Engineering Fair!
What grade levels can attend/participate in the Fair?
The OEF Engineering Fair is open to all students in the 6th through 12th grades.
If my school has pre-registered, do we still have to register our entries?
Yes, your pre-registration gives the contest sponsors an idea of how many entries to expect at the fair. You will then need to register the actual contest entry at each contest to compete.
Are there any contests our school should participate in first?
There isn't any required order to participating in the contests. However, you may keep in mind that the Bridge Building Contest will take entries from 9:00 am - 10:00 am and then start the Bridge Breaker at 10:00 am. This contest is held in the Auditorium and allows the students to watch as most of the bridges are broken/tested!
