This work provides information on Science Fairs within the historical context of science education in Brazil and of education through project work. A Science Fair was investigated in a state school in Uberlândia - Brazil, on the basis of education through projects and with a School-University partnership. The research aims to analyze the collective construction of a differentiated proposal of a Science Fair, its respective evaluation and the implications for teacher training. The common factor defined by the teachers was Life in Society, with ten related subjects. The evaluation of the Fair was developed by the students, teachers, researcher and trainees, with a discussion on the points evidenced by the group involved. In a general way, the project was positively understood by the students and teachers, but the way the teachers perceived education by projects and the Science Fair determines their involvement in the development of the event.
