In-kind Donations
In-kind contributions include donations given in the form of gift certificates, coupons, prizes for students or teachers, printing expenses, and/or volunteer hours. Donations of coupons or two-for-one passes are needed for 800 students.
Volunteer Opportunities
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 and we prefer that judges in the senior division have a Master's degree, PhD, or equivalent work experience in their field. The time commitment for a category judge will be approximately 3 hours for the elementary competitions on March 24 or March 25, 2009 or 4 hours for the secondary competition on March 26, 2009. For more information please refer to the judges' page.
Mentors are also needed to advise and assist students as they research their ideas and carry out their experiments.
If you are interested in volunteering as a judge or a student mentor please contact us at 801-422-1987.
