Topic Proposal, Capsule Proposal and Oral Defense

Your capsule proposal (see Research Plan - ISEF 2010 form for format) is due 7 days after topic approval OR before oral defense. For topics approved last Monday/Tuesday, your capsule proposal if you would pursue that topic would be due next Monday/Tuesday respectively. If you plan to submit your capsule proposal on the day of your presentation, please submit it as a printed copy.

For those with approved topics but did not submit it as a topic proposal, please be reminded to submit a topic proposal detailing the real-life problem, proposed solution, specifications and scientific basis/conceptual framework for your project. You may submit your topic proposal as a group but please attribute the person/s who came up with the idea. In case your proposal was derived from an idea of a teacher, indicate his/her name for proper attribution. The topic proposal should be submitted BEFORE submitting your capsule proposal.

Submit your requirements to str2kawashima (at) gmail (dot) com following the subject line format:

example: El08 CapsuleProposal, Gr01 TopicProposal

Failure to follow this format may lead to loss of the submission.

Oral defense schedule will push through next week. Order of presentation will be in random order with weight given to the time of topic approval. This means that groups with topics approved early will for sure present on the first week. Schedule will be posted here shortly.

Please remember to register the topic your group would pursue. It is important that you register your topic early in case similar topics are submitted. Time of registration will not affect presentation order for your oral defense.

Project planning requirements deadline would be due together with your final proposal.
