Science
Fair time is here!The Anne Arundel
Group of the Sierra Club will again be awarding prizes for our choices
for the
best student projects relating to the environment; and that means,
as
always, that we need judges to select these projects.
The
2012 Regional Science and Engineering Fair, sponsored by Anne Arundel
County
Public Schools, will be:
Saturday,
March 3, 2012
8:30
am - Noon
North
County High School
Glen
Burnie, MD.
We
award a first prize (plaque and $100 check) and up to three honorable
mentions
(certificate and $50 check) to projects that we feel display a good
understanding and application of the Scientific Method and apply to the
environment of the Chesapeake Bay Region.
Judging
the projects is always an interesting and rewarding experience. It is pleasurable to interact with the young
and engaged scientists. You do not have
to be a scientist by training to be a Sierra Cub judge at the Science
Fair. You do need to be interested in the
environment, interested in interacting with the student scientists and
discussing their projects with them, and be willing to donate four
hours of
your time on a Saturday morning.
If
you wish to participate in judging for the Sierra Club awards or simply
want
more information, please contact Judy Mauriello, by email
jzmaur@gmail.com, or phone 410-647-9641.
We need at least 10
judges, so I’m hoping to hear from
several of you. I can promise you a most
rewarding morning.
