How do we edit our display board?

AFTER you've done your research and concluded your experiments, it is time to prepare for the science fair. Ask specific questions about preparing for a science fair, including how to set up your display board, how to prepare a presentation, etc. (Please post questions about selecting a project or conducting your experiment by posting in the appropriate "area of science" forum.)

Does it have to be double spaced?

from my experience of going to many science fairs, most presenters don't double space on their boards....it's probably because it leaves a lot of empty space on the board, which doesn't look appealing.

let me know if you have any more questions,

It is not a requirement to double space your text. If you think it looks better, and you can fit everything on your board, then do it.

The most important thing for readability is font size. Make sure your font size is around 16 points if you are doing Times New Roman font or something similar.

We have a page about doing a display board you might find helpful:
