The 2016 Alaska Science & Engineering Fair is just about 3 weeks away.
If you will be in the Anchorage Area on April 2nd, and would like to help judge science projects, the Alaska Science & Engineering Fair staff and the hundreds of student entrants could really use your help! The event will be held at East High School this year.
I am a regular volunteer at this event and every year I watch kids wait for 2-3 hours (sometimes more) for someone to come and judge their efforts because there are not enough judges to go around. We can have a big impact every year and wait times have dropped measurably in the last 7 years. Just a few hours of your time can make the difference.
Interested? Please join us this year by reserving some time in your schedule on Saturday April 2nd , 2016 and responding to this e-mail to volunteer for or to learn more about how you can get involved in this rewarding experience.
Please take note this opportunity is open to all interested parties (not only COA members).
For those of you who are veterans, the link to register directly with the event is: https://www.alaskasciencefair.org/events/science-fair-2016/87-registration/117-registrationstart.html and the organizers prefer us to register directly with them to speed up the coordination on the morning of the judging, but please remember to respond to this e-mail as well so I can keep my list up to date and can coordinate letters of appreciation for the group.
If you will be joining us for the first time, many of your questions will be answered at the following page: https://www.alaskasciencefair.org/judges-volunteers/information-for-judges.html and I can fill in the gaps for anything not covered there.
Come spend a few rewarding hours encouraging and recognizing the efforts of interesting students from around the state.
Because of our awesome volunteer team’s flexibility we make it much easier for the organizers to balance the judging workload and really reduce wait times for entrants to be judged. I invite you to come out and help make this year even more successful than the last.
If you have specific questions not covered in this e-mail or the referenced websites, feel free to e-mail or call me.
