Delaware Valley Science Fairs
Judging
Information

The
Delaware
Valley Science Fairs
are seeking research-experienced scientists, engineers or technologists
willing to volunteer one day of their expertise to help one of the most
important science education programs in the Delaware Valley.
Independent research by students
in the tri-state Delaware Valley area is usually presented first in
their schools and then in regional Science Fairs from which the winners
in each category and grade advance to the Delaware Valley Science
Fairs in April. In turn, the Medalists from these fairs will
be sent to the International Science and Engineering Fair held this year
in Atlanta, Georgia in May. At each level, students and their sponsors will
meet and learn from their peers and their judges.
It is the intention
of all Science Fairs that students receive as much positive reinforcement
for their efforts as possible. It is important for students to meet
people, such as you, because that experience enriches their education and
perhaps encourages them to pursue a career in science or engineering. It
also provides you with a chance to see how science education is
progressing in our schools, and to contribute to that progress. A few
minutes of professional contact with a student scientist or engineer may
make a life-time of difference in their career.
Judging requires a full day. Judging instruction
and support is included, along with a continental breakfast and box lunch.
Contact with student scientists in a
Science Fair is a rewarding experience for scientists or technicians who
have recent experience in any field of medicine, science or engineering.
2008 - Judging day will be Wednesday, April
2nd at the Valley Forge Convention Center in King of Prussia.
Please plan to arrive at 7:30 AM so that we can start promptly at 8:00
AM. We will provide light refreshments.
Note: If you registered, we are expecting
you! Some of you did not get a confirmation notice.
