Teachers
The first thing you need to do is create or re-activate your ProjectBoard account. Your students will need to know a class number before they can establish their student ProjectBoard account. Go to the following link to set up your account and establish a class or classes for your students:
Create your ProjectBoard Account
Students are required to create or re-activate their accounts by February 4, 2026. Please note: last year, several students missed this deadline and were unable to submit their projects. Once they have their account, they can submit forms and eventually their project, even as early as December 8, 2025. Students often need to re-submit when their project is reviewed and changes are needed. So, submittals for the UC regional Science Day well before the deadline of March 3, 2026, are a must. And, for the ISEF Buckeye Science and Engineering Fair in Columbus, the deadline is February 4, 2026.
Before you start work on your research or project you must submit several permission and registration forms. They are called the OAS Consent and Release Form (Ohio Academy of Science), OAS Combined Approval Form, and the necessary ISEF Forms (International Science and Engineering Fair). This year the OAS Combined Approval Form should be used instead of ISEF forms 1, 1A, and 1B. You can find the links below.
