Each judge fills out a page long score sheet, which are then tabulated and averaged for their total score. The results of the competition are below for each category and overall points. The number of award winners is based on the number of students in each category. The top 10 scorers will represent St. Michael School at the Diocesan Science Fair on April 13th,
