Being A Science Fair Judge
One of the most valuable experiences for young scientists is the opportunity to discuss their findings with established members of the scientific and engineering communities. SLVSEF participants take great pride in their work; judging interviews greatly contribute to the overall educational experience of the competition. Each year professionals, representing university faculty, industrial scientists and engineers, representatives of private and federal research centers and agencies, and medical researchers, and community members volunteer their time to interview and award promising young students that participate in SLVSEF.
SLVSEF is presented by The Center for Science and Mathematics Education located at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah.
