Central NM Science & Engineering Research Challenge

Friday, March 16th, 2007

As every year the Central NM Science & Engineering Research Challenge (formerly know as Northwestern New Mexico Regional Science Fair) in Albuquerque is looking for volunteer judges. In addition, for the third year in a row our local OSA student chapter is sponsoring several special awards that we need judges for.

It would be great if some of our student chapter members could show their commitment to youth (science) education by volunteering as judges.

If you would like to sign up as a regular judge, please go to:
http://stemed.unm.edu/JudgeForm.aspx

The 'Judge Training Workshops' are optional, even if you are a first time judge. For the judging categories you would probably select from

1. SPHY Senior Physics
2. SENGMB Senior Engineering - Materials & Bioengineering
3. SENGEM Senior Engineering - Electrical & Mechanical

If you are interested in judging our chapter special awards (we need about four judges), please contact Felix Jaeckel (  ). For more information on the science fair in general, visit their website at http://stemed.unm.edu.
