Attention fellow officers!
The 2018 Alaska Science & Engineering Fair will be held March 24th at the Northway Mall.
The Alaska Science and Engineering Fair (ASEF) is an Intel ISEF-Affiliated science fair that consists of K-12 students throughout all of Alaska. Students are invited to enter a science, engineering, computer science, or mathematics related project in the fair. It is not necessary to win or even participate in other local school fairs prior to entering the state-wide ASEF. Every K-12 student from Alaska is welcome at this event!
Due to the large number of students, ASEF is in need of volunteers that can help judge science projects as it is not uncommon for many kids to have to wait for 2-3 hours (sometimes more) for someone to come by and assess their work. ASEF can really use our help! Due to our amazing flexibility we are able to help organizers balance the judging workload. By becoming a judge we can have a major impact helping to decrease the overall wait times for students while additionally providing some much needed support and encouragement to some of our best and brightest from around the state. Just a few hours of our time can make a significant difference!
**Please take note this opportunity is open to all interested parties (not only COA members). Also, don’t let the word “Engineering” in the event title scare you off. There is a much greater need for people in science-related professions than just Engineers. So don’t be hesitant in volunteering for this event, but rather make it a priority to come down and help us find the best Public Health related projects! Help inspire the next generation of Public Health scientists!
