Teacher’s Project Competition: What It Is, Where It’s Run and How It’s Judged

By

A Science Fair item listed for Upper Primary, High School and Higher Secondary/VHSE in which an individual entrant presents a science project, with no printed marking table.

Teacher’s Project is a science project entry, as its title suggests intended for teachers rather than pupils. It lets a teacher present an investigation or an innovation from their own classroom practice: a project that solves a teaching problem, an improvement to a lab activity or a local study carried out with students.

On eTalenter’s Science Fair template it is installed as an individual item at Upper Primary (classes 5-7), High School (classes 8-10) and Higher Secondary/VHSE (classes 11-12). The manual prints no scoring-indicator table for it, so the template carries no per-criterion marks and the event’s own judging sheet applies.

A strong entry states a clear problem, describes the method and evidence, and shows what changed for learners as a result.
