Engineering Fair, looking for scientists to act as judges from 9am -
5:30pm on Thursday, April 9th at Colorado State University (see below
for the full request from the coordinator). If you’ve never judged a
science fair before, I highly recommend it, as it’s a ton of fun - the
kids are smart and motivated, and occasionally have some rather
“creative” ideas for projects (my particular favorite was the kid who
decided to test the speed of sound in different air temperatures by
sticking his head in a lit oven. He had some great sources of
uncertainty and, miraculously, still had his eyebrows). <br></div><div><p><br>If you
are interested in volunteering for this, please sign up or contact the
coordinator directly (details below), but please also cc me
(<a href="mailto:carolyn@ucar.edu" target="_blank">carolyn@ucar.edu</a>) so I know you’re going, and can report numbers to the
NSF. <br><br>Thank you!!<br><br>Carolyn<br><br><br>The 2015 Colorado
Science and Engineering Fair (CSEF) will be held April 9-11, 2015 is the
60th Anniversary of the CSEF! Judging for the CSEF will take place
from 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 9th. The fair will be held in
the Lory Student Center at Colorado State University.<br><br>The success
of the CSEF depends in a huge part on the quality of the judges who
volunteer to judge the approximately 400 projects from the 6th-12th
grades (Junior Division is grades 6-8 and Senior Division is grades
9-12) in 12 different categories. A description of the categories can
be found at <a href="http://www.csef.colostate.edu/Category_Descriptions.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.csef.colostate.edu/Category_Descriptions.pdf.</a> You participation is greatly appreciated. <br></p><p>To view the Grand Awards Judge Information page, please go to <a href="http://www.csef.colostate.edu/Judges.htm" target="_blank">http://www.csef.colostate.edu/Judges.htm</a> and to register as a Grand Awards Judge, please visit <a href="http://129.82.204.188/csef/gaj/login.php" target="_blank">http://129.82.204.188/csef/gaj/login.php</a>.
The importance of your assistance as a Grand Awards Judge at the CSEF
cannot be estimated enough. These students come from all over the state
of Colorado to compete at the CSEF. For grades 9-12, many of these
students will get the opportunity to attend the Intel International
Science and Engineering Fair. ALL of the students gain the experience
of presenting a project to the judges (both visually and verbally), meet
potential contacts who will help them on their road to college and in
some cases includes internships, gain the experience of creating or
designing a project from start to finish, and will have the opportunity
to receive scholarships to state higher education. To view some of the
past CSEF successes, please see <a href="http://csef.colostate.edu/" target="_blank">http://csef.colostate.edu/</a>.<br><br>Please join us for the 2015 CSEF!
