United States Atomic Energy Commission Division of Technical Information
Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 64-65589 1968
ROBERT G. LeCOMPTE majored in English and has worked primarily as a communicator--reporter, house-organ editor and photographer, military-information officer and instructor, public-relations consultant, and information and exhibits specialist. He joined the Atomic Energy Commission's staff at Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1951, transferring in 1957 to the AEC's Headquarters, where he is Exhibits and Education Officer in the Division of Technical Information. His concern with science stems from aviation writing, World War II service as an Air Force pilot and technical-intelligence officer, science-news reporting, and requirements for presenting AEC scientific-technical developments to the lay public. He has been involved in science fair activities since 1960, when he began the study which led to establishment of AEC Special Awards for outstanding nuclear-related exhibits at the National Science Fair-International.

SCIENCE PROJECTS, EXHIBITS, AND FAIRS
Science Projects
In conducting a good science project, we work in much the same manner as professional scientists. Like them, we observe, experiment, investigate, speculate, and check the validity of our speculations with more experiments, all in order to learn something. If our work is good, others may learn from it too, but only if we present it adequately.
Better understanding of an area of science is the least that we can gain from doing a science project. At their best, science projects foster habits of effective planning, attention to detail, careful work, and high performance standards that will serve us well throughout our lives. Moreover, there is always the promise that the project will open the door to a satisfying career.
Project Exhibits
More and more, scientists are called upon to share their work not only with other scientists but also with legislators, administrators, sociologists, artists--all kinds of people in all kinds of professions. To follow this lead, student scientists also must tell other people about their science projects.
When executed properly, exhibits are an effective way to do this. Exhibits which combine interesting visual materials with well-written messages can communicate much in very limited time and space. Good exhibits can speak clearly to a great variety of viewers. Those already generally familiar with the subject may absorb the entire message, but even the uninitiated will find something of interest.
