The science fair was held at the San Jose Convention center on March 14th. This is the 59th year that this Silicon Valley event has been held, and our IEEE section has participated in this event continuously for over 30 years. IEEE volunteers evaluated over 400 projects in categories that included electrical, mechanical, software and biomedical engineering. From these projects we selected 12 projects that demonstrated an excellent understanding of the use of electrical and electronic principles. In addition to evaluating projects our volunteers spent several hours talking with students about their projects and encouraging them to continue their technology and scientific studies. The IEEE judges this year were: Keith Gudger, Ken Doniger, Srinivas Vennapureddy, Geetha Vuppal, Scott Wakefield, Edward Miller, Wes Ramirez, George Rossmann, Lee Tavrow and Charlie Neuhauser. In addition, to the Santa Clara fair, many of these IEEE judges also assisted at the San Mateo and Santa Cruz science fairs. Local science fairs are held during February and March. If you would like to join us next year, please send a note to Charlie Neuhauser at CNeuhauser@Earthlink.net.
