Computer Science Science Fair Projects ListComputer Science

Computer Science is the scientific study of computers and their usage for computation, systems control, advanced algorithmic properties, artificial intelligence, data processing, and programming. Including theory, design, and analysis, computer science is the study of theoretical foundations and computation in computer systems.

All projects

  • Computer Passwords

    To determine the strength of several different computer passwords. At the end of this experiment, you and your classmates will have an understanding of what factors make weak computer passwords and which types of passwords are stronger.


  • Font and Memory

    To determine whether a serif font, such as Times New Roman or a sans serif font, such as Arial is more easily remembered.


  • Information and CD’s

    To find out how much information is stored on a compact disc without using a computer.


  • Optical Mice

    To determine whether an optical mouse performs on a black surface.


  • Search Engines

    To determine which search engine is the most popular and why.


  • Temperature and CPUs

    To determine whether extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) affect how well a computer performs given tasks.


  • Typing and Speed

    To determine whether programs designed to improve typing speed, skill and accuracy are truly beneficial.
