Note: The information
and dates presenterd 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: The following forms
are for the 2020 STEM Exhibition and
should be used as examples ONLY.. The
2021 forms will be available sometime in
late September.
There is
an exception for the 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.
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.
With the exception of the Firearms
endorsement (see below), all other
endorsements must be submitted by November 22,
2020.
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.
