Three Categories:
(1) Only individuals or pairs of individuals will make the cheese. (2) Contestants will make cheese either with or without rennet (rennet soft and semi-soft cheeses, rennet hard cheeses, and non-rennet cheeses) (3) Contestants will prepare a display containing photographs of the students making the cheese and a written explanation of how the type of cheese is made, specifics about how their batch(s) of cheese was made, and what they will change in future batches. (4) Contestants should be prepared to answer questions on these topics (5) The display must contain a student signed statement of authenticity
(6) The display may be a standard science fair display or an electronic display (e.g. PowerPoint) with photographs, written explanations, statement of authenticity, and documentation (photographs). Contestants choosing to use an electronic display must bring their own computer and software. There may not be an available power source, so be sure to have charged batteries. The statement of authenticity can be signed and scanned into the computer and presented in the PowerPoint presentation or a piece of paper that the contestant(s) beings to the contest. (7) The cheese must be prepared using sanitary techniques conditions and must be edible. (8) Judging will be based on flavor, texture, odor, and color of cheese, completeness of display, and ability to answer basic questions about the activity. (9) Displays that do not contain the statement of authenticity will not be judged. (10) Neither parents nor teachers may be standing at the display at the time of judging. There will be an area nearby where judging may be observed. Web sites for student resources:
