A student researcher at the high school level
may also submit a research paper for evaluation and possible
presentation in the Symposium. To participate in the
Symposium, a student is not required to have an exhibit on display at
the fair, but he/she must conduct primary research as a basis for the
paper.
At the City Fair, a student may be selected
to represent the Chicago Public Schools at the Illinois Junior Academy
of Science Exposition held at the University of Illinois in
Champaign/Urbana. The student may also be selected to represent the
Chicago Public Schools at the International Science and Engineering
Fair held annually in one of the major cities or possessions of the
United States. (The flow chart on the preceding page highlights the
steps followed by a student as he/she proceeds from the school level to
area, city and state competition.)
Students with language and/or hearing impairments who will present at
the
City Science Fair are encouraged to seek the assistance of their
sponsoring teacher in making arrangements to have a language
interpreter or sign language interpreter available during judging
sessions. Arrangements for the use of a sign language interpreter can
be made through the CPS Office of Specialized Services (553-1800).
