We are still in need of many judges and would love to have your group well represented at this officially sponsored Purdue event. In the past we have had excellent participation from the Birck Nanotechnology Center and your knowledge is invaluable in assisting us to judge projects under your research fields. We are look forward to seeing you on Friday. Best, Phillip S. Rushton, PhD Stauffacher Lab Department of Biological Sciences Purdue University Please only forward the message below________________ Judges needed for the 2025 Lafayette Regional Science and Engineering Fair - Friday March 7, 2025, 5-10 PM at Stewart Center Hello! Would you be willing to act as a judge at the 2025 Lafayette Regional Science and Engineering Fair? If you are receiving this message, it means you are eligible to volunteer as a judge in the 2025 Lafayette Regional Science and Engineering Fair on Friday March 7, 2025. It will be an in-person event at Stewart Center from 5:30-9:30 PM. This year, we have over 500 young experimentalists (5-12 graders) eagerly awaiting a chance to share their projects with you. The fair is only a few days away, so right now they are working hard on their projects. Students are going the extra mile this year to prepare presentations, and having many judges from a variety of disciplines helps us award prizes most fairly to deserving projects. That's where you come in. For those who have done this in the past you remember how it was the first time you judged - so many abstracts and projects to look at! Because of this, we need lots of help to give these students a great science fair experience. Judging really is a lot of fun, and not terribly difficult since the kids are high school age or younger. Please come out and help support this event! This event is s great way to volunteer with the community and can look great on a resume. A free dinner voucher is also provided at the event.
