No. Even information correctly used for school projects may not be posted on a website without permission. Fair use allows for limited use of copyrighted material for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. However, posting the project on the school website for others to see may not fall under fair use, as it could potentially be considered as distribution of the copyrighted material. Donny should first seek permission from the science museum before posting the project on the school website.
