Judging at the Sacramento Regional Science & Engineering Fair

 

The 16th Annual Sacramento Regional Science & Engineering Fair (SRSEF) will be held March 23-24 at Rosemont High School in Sacramento.

 

In order to execute the largest science and engineering fair in the region, SRSEF is entirely dependent on service minded educators, scientists, mathematicians, and engineers who volunteer their time as judges. It is a rewarding experience, both for our judges and for the students, and we hope you will consider registering as a judge for the Fair.

 

Judges are expected to attend a mandatory orientation Friday, March 23 at 6:00 p.m. that will include a free dinner catered by Griselda’s Tex Mex.  Orientation will provide judges with an explanation of the guidelines and evaluation criteria for judging projects and a review of the judging score sheets.  Judges will also receive their project assignments and be given the opportunity to do a preliminary review of projects.  Judging will commence Saturday, March 24 at 8:00 a.m.

Judging Guidelines & Evaluation Criteria

 

The judging system closely parallels the system used at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).  The guidelines allow students the opportunity to interact with judges and prepare for the judging at the ISEF should they advance.  The SRSEF judging guidelines and evaluation criteria are available for review by visiting http://srsefair.org/Headings/General_Information/judges/JudgingGuidelinesEvaluationCriteria.pdf.   Please read them carefully.
