By volunteering as a judge, you too, will celebrate achievement and encourage excellence among our region’s future scientists, doctors and engineers! The opportunity for our students to discuss their findings with established members of the scientific community is a highlight of their science fair experience and contributes to the overall educational experience of the competition.
