You can then attend the sessions that work best with your schedule.

The registration booths are open on March 27th from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. Volunteers for this task will be asked to be available from 2:00 to 7:30 p.m.

The safety and display committee volunteers help to enforce the international regulations for science fair project set up.
