For over 35 years, the IEEE has provided both prizes and judges for local fairs and we need your help once again. These fairs provide an opportunity for students from middle schools and high schools to show their projects and hear comments from professionals like you. Projects range from the simple to the sophisticated, but behind every project is a student who is anxious to find out what you think about it. As a judge you will interact with students and help them understand what they did right and how they could do better next time. This year we will be supporting three science fairs:
Santa Clara, science-fair.org; Thursday, March 11 10:00 am to 4:00 pm Even if you can only help for a few hours the students will appreciate it. No previous experience or specialized knowledge is necessary only patience and common sense. For 2021 all local science fairs will be virtual, so you can help out from the safety and comfort of your own home. If you are interested in helping out at one of these fairs, or sponsoring a prize, please call Charlie Neuhauser at (408) 245-0085 (W) or E-mail him at Cneuhauser@Earthlink.net.
