Even before you start packing, make sure to check the travel arrangements and what kind of luggage you’ll be allowed to bring. To minimize problems, try to fit everything into the allowed weight and size (especially if you’re bringing your display board with you).

For Your Project
- Display board
- If you’re sending it ahead, make sure to have copies of the packaging company’s phone numbers and the tracking number of your project so you know who to call if it isn’t there.
- If you’re bringing it with you, take all the things you used to pack it: scissors, garbage bags / packaging wrap, duct tape (you’re going to need them to re-pack your display board).
- If you’re renting a board on site, make sure that your project can be adaptable for different sizes of boards
- The Science Fair Toolbox
