[Allgsacstudents] Science fair judging

Mon Mar 13 09:34:29 PDT 2023

Hi all,

The San Bernardino, Inyo, and Mono Counties Science & Engineering Fair (SIMSEF) is badly in need of science fair judges for its middle and high school projects! If you are interested in judging there will be a judging orientation Tuesday March 14th at 3:30-4:30 pm (I know the email I forwarded here says Monday 10-11 AM, but there is an alternative time option since I know this email probably won't go out in time for the Monday orientation), after which you can judge projects virtually all week, or in person on Saturday, or both! Please contact the organizer of the event, Mariano Aranda (mariano.aranda at sbcss.org<mailto:mariano.aranda at sbcss.org>) directly if you have any questions.

Thanks!
Marina

Hello Marina,

Absolutely.  We could use all the help we can get.  I just made a new judge's orientation meeting for this Monday, March 13. 2023 that your staff could attend.  Please have them all register with our online platform at simsef.zfairs.com<http://simsef.zfairs.com>.

The information is below but I will highlight some here.

The judging is hybrid which means judges can begin judging their projects online.  They could attend the live competition on Friday, March 17, 2023, but it is not mandatory.  However, we would love for your staff to meet and interact with our 6-12 grade students, our future scientists and engineers.  This is an opportunity for our students to meet live scientists.

The minimum requirement for the judges is for them to score the projects online.

Hello SIMSEF 2023 Judges,

Thank you for registering for our Judges Orientation.  If you cannot make the time below please email me and I will send you a separate zoom invite to go over the platform.

Hi Mariano Aranda,

My name is Marina Vollin and I'm currently the outreach coordinator for the evolution, ecology, and organismal biology graduate students at UC Riverside. A previous grad student passed along an email saying you are in need of judges for the SIMSEF and there might be some people in my department who would be willing to participate. However, I see that the judging orientation has already happened so I wanted to check if you are still interested in having more people sign up. Let me know if you'd like me to reach out to the department about this event, and if not we would be potentially interested in being involved next year as well.

Thanks!
Marina
