Asst. Supts. – Joy Monkemeyer, Carol Koukol, Hank Koukol, Bob Gibson
Exhibits will be accepted Monday, July 17 from 2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
All projects will be conference judged. During the conference judging

Computer Science
Superintendent – Bob Gibson
Exhibitors will be asked to give a presentation/explanation of their exhibit to judge. A presentation using a computer is not required. No computers will be furnished. Exhibitors may bring computer equipment if they wish. The Fair Board and Extension Office are not responsible for the safety or security of any computer equipment. Telephone modem connections are not available for use by exhibitors.
Any member found to be using computer software in a manner that infringes on copyright laws will be disqualified. Use computer project guide Lost In Cyberspace.
Class: Introduction to Computers - Exhibit a poster or demonstration that shows
knowledge related to Units 1 and 2 in the computer project guide, such as:
• the main parts of typical home or office desktop computer.
• the operating system
• the use and workings of common application programs such as word
processors or graphics drawing programs
Class: Using Computer Programs - Exhibit a product that member produced using
selected software application, along with a written description of how the
product was produced. Recommended software applications include word
processing programs, spreadsheet programs, database manager programs,
graphics and design programs, accounting programs, communications
programs, presentation programs, and/or Web page design programs
(or any other software application covered in Unit 3 of the project guide).
Class: Beginning Computer Programming - Exhibit a flowchart or alternative visual representation of a program that exhibitor has written, not copied from another source. Exhibitor also may choose to demonstrate the actual program. (NOTE: Neither computers nor telephone modem connections are provided to exhibitors.) Choice of programming language is optional. Programs exhibited in this class require the use of one or more of each of the following kinds of commands:
(1) Comments to the reader of the program (e.g., “Now subtract Taxes from GrossPay to get NetPay”).
(2) Instructions to the user of the program (e.g., “Press Q at any time to quit this program”).
(3) Assignment of data into variables (e.g., “NetPay=GrossPay Taxes;”).
(4) Choosing between alternatives based on the current value of a variable (e.g., “IF NetPay>=100000 THEN PRINT ‘THANK YOU, BOSS!’ ELSE GOTO 999”)
(5) Looping, that is, repeating a group of instructions more than once, using a looping structure (“FOR”, “DO”, etc.). The ending of the loop must be controlled, not just left to loop forever (e.g., “10 GOTO 10”). Controlling the end of the looping may be done using an “IF” statement from item 4.
(6) Input from, and output to a user.
Class: Intermediate Computer Programming - Exhibits in this class allow exhibitor to work in more depth in those application areas of computer programming that interest them. Exhibits in this class must meet all the requirement of class G3015, plus as many of the following as apply:
(1) Checking for and dealing with errors in some reasonable way (e.g., suppose GrossPay contains a negative number, or Taxes contains a value larger than GrossPay-what then?).
(2) Input from and/or output to a file or database (or some device or program than to the user).
(3) Use of defined functions, procedures, or macros to reduce complexity and duplication within the program.
(4) Ways to get the user help, or clues, if they get stuck, or they don’t understand what to do next.
Class: Special Topics in Computers - Projects in this class permit exhibitors to explore in detail any aspect of computers that interests them and is not within the scope of all above classes. Exhibit may include such things as a computer built from component cards, a report on the effect of computers on the economy, and/or description of a computer-based service or business they operate.

SPECIAL NOTES:
Web Pages:
Web pages present an ongoing dilemma for selecting exhibit classes, because they represent a very broad range of skill and understanding by
the member. This breadth prevents an easy solution of simply creating a single exhibit class for web pages. Short of inventing an entire new series of 2-3 classes dealing strictly with pages, the best alternative is to classify exhibits individually, based on the level of knowledge and skill represented in the exhibit along the following guidelines:
• All web pages developed with a software program either designed
specifically for that purpose or with a function for automatic HTML
coding (e.g. the “save as HTML command in Microsoft Word) should
be entered in the second class: Using Computer Programs
• Simple web pages designed with HTML coding written by the member
or augmented with features downloaded from other web sites, should
also be entered in Class 2: Using Computer Programs
• Web pages containing a significant amount of Java programming
done by member should be entered in Class 3: Beginning Computer
Programming - as long as the programming meets the third classes’
requirements. This does not includ Java created components the
member simply downloads from another site. It is the responsibility
of the judge to ascertain how much actual programming has been done
by the exhibitor.
• It is possible to write advanced programs in JavaScript that meet
the requirements of Class 4: Intermediate Computer Programming.
Again, it is the judge’s responsibility to ascertain how much actual
programming has bee done (vs. downloading).
• If the web page doesn’t seem to fit into one specific category from
above, enter the exhibit in Class 5: Special Topics in Computers.

Computer Science Judges reserve the right to switch exhibits to different classes as needed to meet the classification designations.

ELECTRICITY
It is strongly suggested that members use recommended construction details provided by the Illinois Electrification Committee (IEC) that has been provided to local Extension Offices.
