Fair Set-up:
The 2023 fair is virtual so the below information does not apply this year; however, we are leaving it as a matter of convenience for future fairs.
All equipment needed, such as computers, monitors, cables, VCRs, TVs, laser discs, CD-ROMs, multi-outlet power strips, extension cords, etc. must be furnished by the contestants. In addition, all software used in the project must be loaded for demonstration by the contestants. It is STRONGLY suggested that back-up, executable copies of the completed projects be brought. You do not need to bring peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, or cameras unless it helps in your presentation to the judges. However, students must be able to describe how these devices were used if asked by judges. Students and schools are responsible for the safety and security of their equipment and software, not the fair host. Students must be able to bring in their own equipment and set it up on tables furnished by the fair host. Only one electrical outlet will be provided per computer set-up. Please bring extension cords and multi-outlet power strips as needed.
All students must be able to find their project(s) on their computers, bring them up, and run them for judges at the time of competition. If needed, students must be able to start their computers from a “cold boot-up” or restart scenario. If there is a serious hardware problem beyond normal expectations, a responsible adult may be called to the judging floor to try to remedy it.
This event will be held Friday, February 7, 2020. We are happy to be back in the Pete Matthews Coliseum this year, which is located at 775 Park Ave NW, Jacksonville.
