Registration
To participate please fill out the online Registration Form. Please note registration closes on Friday, March 13 to allow us time to plan final logistics. The experiment or project doesn't need to be done, or even decided on, by the registration deadline, we just need to know who is planning to participate. Spring Break will give lots of time to create and complete an experiment or project.
