Finalist Survey

Colorado State Science Fair, Inc.
2009 Finalist Survey Form

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback on YOUR science fair. We are always looking to improve and your input helps. Many of the same items come up every year on these surveys, so before you begin, please note that it would be more helpful that if you think something should be changed, we need SPECIFIC suggestions on how. For example, there is usually a complaint about where the awards ceremony is held. Asking us to have it closer to CSU or in Fort Collins doesn't help. We have tried, but have been unable to find a place that is as nice as the Resurrection Fellowship Church in Loveland, holds at least 1,000 people and is on campus or in Fort Collins. In order to have it on campus or in Fort Collins, we would have to limit the number of people a student could bring with them and that isn't fair to you, the student and your family members. So a suggestion of moving the ceremony to a specific location would be more helpful than a generic, "have the awards closer to CSU."
