Let me add my congratulations too, Ravi!

If they won't let you run the coil at the county science fair, could you at
least have some pictures of the operating coil on display? Short time
exposures taken in the dark seem to work well, and something like a
yardstick in the background would give an idea of spark length. If you don't
have a camera yourself that is capable of time exposures, maybe a teacher
could help out.

Hope you do well!

Ben
