If your student is doing a science fair project, they will likely need ISEF-style paperwork: multiple forms, a long rulebook, and signatures from several adults. Opening the official instructions for the first time can feel overwhelming — dozens of pages and forms that are not always in a friendly order.
That friction is real. Project-based learning is worth it; the scavenger hunt of PDFs does not have to sour the experience.
