The 2021 Cobb County Elementary Science Fair will be held Digitally on March 13, 2021 

Key Changes for 2021:

The Cobb County Elementary Science Fair will no longer be held at the same time as the  Middle/High School Fair due to the growth of our fair.

The Cobb County Elementary Science Fair will be for participants in Grades 1-5. Kindergarten students will be allowed to participate in local school fairs, but will not advance to the county level fair.

Five top-place science fair winners from each school will be accepted to the Cobb District Science Fair. ​

Schools should not to allow students to experiment with molds or bacteria of any kind, as these can be particularly hazardous to student health. These projects will not be allowed at the Cobb County Elementary Science Fair.

The Elementary Science Fair is a wonderful way for elementary-aged students to participate in and experience a scientific project.  Each science fair project must consist of a student-led scientific investigation (following accepted scientific methods). These winners should be from Grades 1-5. Science fair coordinators at each school will inform winning students or student groups about their participation in the district science fair. 

 The event will take place on Saturday, March 13, 2021.  ​

Schools should hold their science fair no later than Friday, February 26th. The firm registration deadline for all projects is Friday,  March 5th.  No late entries will be accepted.
