Team Project Categories:
ASEF 2008 accepts team projects. Team projects are defined as any project with two
and no more than three contributing student members. All team projects (both Junior and
Senior divisions) are grouped into one category labeled "Team Projects", regardless of subject
matter or grade division.
NOTE: The Science Fair Committee reserves the right to combine projects
into other categories if there are not enough exhibits to make up a competitive class.
