Welcome to Regional Science Day at Edison State Community College!
The Ohio Academy of Science Regional Science Day at Edison State Community College is for students in grades 5-12 in Champaign, Darke, Miami and Shelby counties. Formerly known as UMV District (District No. 1), this fair was established in May 2015 and affiliated with the Ohio Academy of Science. This year we anticipate that approximately 150 projects representing 22 public and private schools will be evaluated by qualified volunteer judges, each knowledgeable in their respective fields.

To begin a project or to prepare to submit a project for the 2025 Regional Science Day:
The student must create an account and “start a project” in ProjectBoard. Students can work in the Makers Space to develop a project, but this template cannot be submitted for competition. To submit to competition, students must complete the blue “Science Day” submission template. This template opens on December 9, 2024.
‣ Complete the necessary required “tiles/sections” in their project template
‣ Make sure that none of the “tiles” are in “Ready for Review” mode. They can be “completed” or in “draft” mode
‣ Make sure ISEF forms, final report and abstract are uploaded in the tile section, not in the comments section
‣ Check student profile information for completeness
‣ Submit the project
