Note: The information and
dates presented below is specific to the year
of 2020-21, and the 2021 Chicago Student STEM
Exhibition. Much of this information may
change for the 2022 year and Exhibition.
NOTE:
For projects conducted in a university,
hospital or research laboratory under the
supervision of a Doctor, Professor or
Scientist, endorsement(s) and supporting
documents are DUE
NOVEMBER 11, 2020. All
other endorsements must be submitted in
duplicate by November 22, 2020.
Exception,
students who received an endorsement last
year and are reusing their project may email
a copy of their 2019/2020 endorsement and
get it updated. They MAY NOT complete any
new experimentation at HOME. A NEW
endorsement would only be for students who
are able to complete their experimentation
in a Bio-Safey Level 1 lab.
Endorsement
requests MUST be made PRIOR to experimentation
in order to ensure the safety of the test
subject(s) and/or the scientist. The
project plans are reviewed by the Scientific
Review Committee and, if safe, the endorsement
is granted and the experiment may be carried
out. Permission to carry out an
experiment CANNOT be given to one that has
already been completed.
