Inquiry-Based Learning at its Best! 

Sign-Up to be a Judge!

ANNOUNCEMENT
2023 will be a transitional year.
Honors Division Fair projects will be judged both virtually and in-person and the General K-12 Fair projects will be judges virtually.
THERE WILL BE NO PHYSICAL PROJECTS THIS YEAR AT QUEENY PARK

JUDGE RECRUITMENT
The school requirement for judging is waived for 2023. Teachers will still need to select projects at their school to forward to the Academy's e-fair. The Academy of Science will recruit groups of judges forming 6 groups of judges at each organization. Each group will be assigned 2 grades to judge and upload the scores for their projects. Judges will be able to review and judge their projects independently from their laptops at home.

Q. What does the Science Fair Judge Team Leader do?
A. The Science Fair Judge Team Leader rounds up between 5 and 20 colleagues to serve as science fair judges, then assigns the judges their projects and links to judge. Projects are from grades K-12.  Judges will "judge from home" as all projects are uploaded virtually. List of projects, links to projects, links to score sheets and link to upload score will be provided as well as sample e-mails to send to your group.

Q. Are other organizations in STL involved?
A. Yes! Other organizations from around the region are forming judge teams with a Science Fair Judge Leader; ie. Washington University, National Geospatial Agency, Bayer, Thermo Fischer Scientific and more.

Q.  After the Judge Leader recruits judges, how many projects does each person judge?
A.  Approximately 10 to 15 projects will be judged by each judge. It will take a judge about 3 hours.
