CALL FOR JUDGES: REGIONAL SCIENCE FAIRS, STOCKHOLM JUNIOR WATER PRIZE
The YES Fair in Sierra Vista is coming up March 9, and judges are needed to select projects in grades 9-12 to receive Stockholm Junior Water Prize (SJWP) regional award certificates. These awards recognize water-related research projects, and recipients are encouraged to submit research papers to the SJWP state competition in April. Judges are also needed for SARSEF in Tucson March 22, and for AzSEF in Phoenix April 12. These science fairs are also seeking volunteers to judge projects in grades K-12 in various categories, such as engineering, environmental sciences, and chemistry.
At each fair, SJWP judges will select up to 5 water-related projects in grades 9-12 to receive SJWP regional award certificates. Judges will also encourage students to submit research papers to the SJWP state competition in April. Time involved is approximately 2 hours.
