PJAS Information
- Students doing an oral presentation can choose to enter their project for competition at the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science (PJAS). Regional competition takes place in late Feb or early March. Winning a 1st place there allows the student to compete at the state level at Penn State University. This is entirely optional but highly recommended. Students can win cash, scholarships, recognition, field trips, and extra credit.

On the next page, select Region 3 as your region and fill out the rest. Use your home phone and home address (they won't visit you, but they may mail you a check for cash money)

Choose the category that best fits your project. If you're not sure, google what each category means and figure it out.

Make sure to pick me as your sponsor.

There's a form wizard at the end. Go through the process and check any boxes that apply to your project.

Uploading your presentation


**__Project Information:__** - Read the document above for instructions on how to upload your presentation. - Projects must be uploaded by 2/20 at 11:59pm to the PJAS registration site. Instructions are attached to this email. - Projects must be saved as a PDF. Students who do not save and present as a PDF might be disqualified (this happened last year). - Students will present from a USB flash drive on the day of the competition. The registration site will only be used as a back up.

**__Competition Information:__** - Students must be in their presentation rooms by 9:10am on 2/24. Given that this is a new regional competition location, I am recommending that all Springhouse students get to Northampton Community College no later than 8:30am so that they can find their building and room. - Middle School presentations should be over by 11:30am. Students must stay in their presentation room until all other students have presented. - I will be in the scoring room (252 College Center) in case of emergency. - If parents are staying, they are encouraged to go to the Laub Lounge on the 2nd Floor of College Center. - PJAS results will be posted on www.parklandsciencefair.org on the evening of 2/24.
