Step 3:
Is this project an Individual or Team Project?
Individual Project: A project in which one student works
independently on one project. An individual project can not
start out as a team project and be converted to an individual
project by eliminating team members. For projects that continue
beyond one research year*, an individual project can be
converted to a team project at the beginning of the next
research year * and vice versa.

Project.
Team Project: A
project in which two or three students worked together on one
project. Teams may not have started with more than three
members and then be reduced to three members to qualify for
WSSEF. Team membership cannot be changed during a given research
year including converting from an individual project to a team
project, or vice-versa. For projects that continue beyond one
research year*, team members can change at the beginning of the
next research year* including converting the project to an
individual project and vice versa.
