What is an Imagination Fair? An Imagination Fair is a bit of a cross between a Science Fair and an Art Show. It is a space for homeschooled children of all ages to display, demonstrate and discuss the results of a specific project whether it be a scientific exploration, an artistic endeavor, or any other products of their creativity. Projects can be any products of the imagination, including but not limited to artistic works including paintings, drawings, pottery, clay, sculptures; collections of shells, rocks, stamps, fossils; videos of music, animations, and performances; engineering contraptions including robots, models, architecture, dioramas, games, LEGO or Mindstorms creations; and many others not listed here.

How can I help? To volunteer to participate as a mentor, please send an email to imagine(at)hsadventures(dot)org To volunteer to help organize the fair, please join the Yahoo Group at groups.yahoo.com/group/ImaginationFair To volunteer to help with set up or clean up, please send an email to imagine(at)hsadventures(dot)org The Imagination Fair is intended to be a zero-income endeavor but is not (yet) established as an official non-profit organization recognized by the IRS. However, we do need help covering costs. If you'd like contribute to help cover printing and prize costs, please contact us at imagine(at)hsadventures(dot)org. Just understand that any contributions made this year will not be tax deductible. Download a PDF copy of the poster to share.

Certificates of Participation While there will be no ranking of the projects, mentors from all walks of life will be on hand to talk to children about their projects. For every mentor spoken to, each child will receive a sticker on their participation certificate. Example of a certificate: (design not yet finalized) To volunteer to participate as a mentor, please send an email to imagine(at)hsadventures(dot)org

Game Cards Additionally, children, both participants and guests, can earn one stamp for each exhibit visited and then show their completed game card to a game moderator to receive a small prize. Example of a game card with stampers (design not yet finalized) Kids get to keep both the game card and the prize! If you have a few stampers to donate for Game Card use, please let use know via an email to imagine(at)hsadventures(dot)org
