Judges

Are you passionate about curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving? Whether you’re a college student, a parent, teacher, administrator, technician, or professional in any field, your perspective is invaluable in helping young minds grow. By volunteering as a judge for the Science and Engineering Fair or the Inventors Fair, you’ll have the opportunity to inspire the next generation of innovators while engaging with incredible student projects. Although Specialists in STEM related fields are invaluable to this process, many judges don’t need a STEM background just a willingness to listen, encourage, and ask thoughtful questions. Your insights can make a real difference in how students see themselves and their potential.

Judging is more than scoring a project it is challenging, motivating, and supporting the minds that will shape our future. From imaginative inventions to data-driven experiments, these fairs showcase a wide range of student talent and ingenuity from k-12. Our dynamic student base, requires a dynamic set of judges with a variety of talents. Whether you choose to judge one event or both, your time and expertise will be deeply appreciated.
