Individual and group projects fall into 19 categories of science - from microbiology to zoology, math and physics to electronics, and consumer science to earth science. Each project is judged by a team of representatives from education, industry and science communities, as well as other members of the public. Criteria include research knowledge, use of the scientific method, knowledge of the subject, writing strategies and the creation of original data.

The San Bernardino County school districts participating in this year's fair are Adelanto, Apple Valley Unified, Barstow Unified, Bear Valley Unified, Chino Valley Unified, Colton Joint Unified, Etiwanda, Fontana Unified, Helendale Hesperia Unified, Morongo Unified, Redlands Unified, Rialto Unified, San Bernardino City Unified, Snowline Joint Unified, Trona Joint Unified, Upland Unified and Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified. Students from 12 private/charter schools in San Bernardino County also compete in the event.
