Judging Criteria

The Central Utah Science & Engineering Fair committee would like to invite you to be a category judge at our science fair. Category judges are needed for each of the elementary competitions and for the secondary competition. Elementary and junior division judges need a strong science background. It is preferred that judges in the senior division (grades 9-12) have a Master's degree, PhD or equivalent work experience in their respective field.

The time commitment for a category judge will be approximately 3 hours for the elementary competitions on March 24 or March 25 or 4 hours for the secondary competition on March 26, 2009.

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. Thank you for your participation!

Judging Criteria

Elementary (5-6), Junior (7-8), and Senior (9-12) divisions will each be judged separately. Every project will be judged on its own merits in competition with the other projects and students in their respective category. Students will be expected to describe their project in detail and to answer questions in an interview with each judge. Category judges will judge projects at least 4 times. Judges will use the judging criteria as listed and evaluate each project on the following 100 point basis.
