 Thank you for your interest in judging at this year's ScienceMONTGOMERY.
Click here to register to judge our fair.
This County level Science Fair promotes students’ scientific research and provides an opportunity for students to exhibit their projects, talk with science professionals, and qualify to win awards and scholarships for their hard work.
ScienceMONTGOMERY will also send the 9th-12th grade ISEF Awards winners to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
You are one of this area's experienced science and technology professionals. It is important for good students to meet people such as you. Discussion with you enriches their research and encourages them to consider a career in science and engineering. It also provides you with a chance to see how science education is progressing in our area, and to be a part that process.
ScienceMONTGOMERY will be held in the Reckord Armory Building of the University of Maryland, College Park MD.
Category Awards judging will begin on Saturday at 8:00 AM, and should be finished by 5:00 PM. Judging begins with a preview period when the students are not present, from 8 a.m.-12 noon, and the students will be present for their interviews in the afternoon. A continental breakfast and light lunch will be provided. Please see the Fair Schedule for dates.
Our judging categories have changed in 2012. (See below.) When choosing a category to judge, please do not choose a category in which your child is competing.
If you are able to judge in the Fair this year, please click to register. Please encourage any of your colleagues who would like to join us, to register.
You will receive an email with your category assignment and judging instructions, shortly before the Fair. We’ll also be in touch with information that becomes available in the interim. Thank you so much for joining an outstanding judging fellowship.
We have revised the Judging Criteria for 2012. There are four sets of criteria: one for Behavioral Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, one for Computer Science, one for Engineering, and one for Mathematics.
To have your organization become a ScienceMONTGOMERY sponsor, review the information under the Sponsor tab or contact us at fairdirector@sciencemontgomery.org. Our students can use your support!
If you have questions about judging, contact categoryjudge@sciencemontgomery.org. Leave contact information (email address and phone number) when communicating.
We need judges in the following categories:
Behavioral and Social Sciences
Includes psychology, learning, perception, educational assessment.
Biology
Includes plant biology, animal biology, biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, microbiology, health and disease, dentistry, marine biology. Depending on the project, some projects formerly placed in environmental science might fit this category.
Chemistry
Includes nature and composition of matter, geology, pollution. Depending on the project, some projects formerly placed in environmental science might fit this category.
Computer Science
Includes hardware and software development, internet networking and communications, graphics, simulations and virtual reality.
Engineering
Includes technology, practical applications of scientific principles, design, aeronautics, transportation Depending on the project, some projects formerly placed in environmental science might fit this category.
Mathematics
Includes development of formal logical systems or various numerical and algebraic computations, and the application of these principles—such as calculus, geometry, abstract algebra, number theory, statistics, combinatorics, or probability.
Physics
Includes theories, principles, and laws governing energy and motion, astronomy, weather, electricity, magnetism and optics.
