 Science Fair Judges Wanted Mount Royal Middle School is looking for scientists and graduate students to judge their Science Fair on Wednesday, March 9, 2016 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at Maryland Institute College of Art's Brown Center
Student projects will be set up for display, viewing, and judging. In order to provide our students with a meaningful opportunity to discuss their projects, many judges are needed.
As a judge, you will be using your expertise to determine how well our middle school students understand and use scientific thought and process in preparing their science fair projects. You will be provided a scoring rubric to evaluate the exhibits.
If you are interested in joining our science fair judging team or have additional questions contact Justin Kuk. Please confirm by email if you intend to be a judge before March 2, 2016. |

Enjoy your extra day and we hope to see you at some of these events during the month of March.
