DMRSEF takes place in a hybrid format where, in addition to your physical poster board and display you bring to the fair itself, students will also create an online version of their presenatations. This not only allows students to have a lasting, sharable documentation of all their hard work, but gives our judges a chance to preview all projects in their category before meeting students. This leads to more in-depth conversations between participants and judges and lets a wide variety of student skills shine!
