In 2006, the Grand Prize winner for STS was from Utah.

Many of the math and social science projects do not require in-person access to a lab or even in-person access to a mentor. For a science project requiring a lab, ease of access may vary, but equal access exists for all students.

If a student wanted to do a project in fashion design…and they lived in South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming or Utah…the ease of their access to fashion resources and mentors would be different from someone who lives in Manhattan or LA…but they could still enter a competition and win it.
