Using a project template offers several benefits. It helps ensure consistency among project submissions, provides a clear structure for presenting information, and streamlines the evaluation process for reviewers or judges and mentors. Templates also serve as a reference point, ensuring that participants include all necessary details and follow the guidelines provided.

Once you are logged in to your ProjectBoard account, you will have access to all Ohio Academy of Science Templates. You can access these templates by clicking on the

"Start Project" button located in the upper right corner. 

If you plan to participate in an event, ensure you choose the template designated for that event. For projects being developed in a classroom setting, select one of the workspace project templates found in the bottom row.
