Science Fair

[DyroZang]

I am trying to enter into a science fair that requires very well done projects with original ideas and I have no ideas on what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I need any idea on what to do for my project. I am very into tech (coding, programming, hardware, that kind of stuff) and I would love if some people could pitch tech related ideas for the science fair.

"How to build a PC"

"How to make a robot (code raspberry pi)"

isnt the point of a science fair to create and demonstrate original ideas of your own?

You could try doing something with air pressure inside of cases. Or maybe heat dissipation and describe how works with coolers being rated in watts. Those are some interesting things about computers.

I know it is and I am trying to come up with my own ideas but I can't think of anything so I'm checking if anyone else has some cool ideas that I could base mine off of, I don't plan on entirely copying the idea.

how science-cy do you want it to be?
like... what grade? i cant tell a 9 year old to go do a ruben's tube now can i?

If it is a serious one I suspect they have a printed set of instructions/rules/guides.

 

If so, start by reading it.

 

Many science fairs do not allow demonstration type projects.  They want experiments with stated methods, data collection, and reported results.

Not super original but mineral oil cooled pc in a fish tank is always incredible to see.  You could use a raspberry pi and some cheap fish tank stuff to save money

I'm 14 and I want to be very science-y

I remember some girl who invented the human power flash light. really cool!

Build a Wheatstone bridge and use it to determine an unknown resistance using three other known resistances. Then prove the circuit worked by switching the multimeter to measure resistance and show that it matches the calculated. It's a simple circuit, but could be an appropriate science project for your grade level.
