Volunteer

We are always in need of volunteers in the areas of judging, registering projects, hosting the public, mentoring students and other areas. We have positions available for all levels of involvement and time availability.

During the Science Fair Week we need people to tackle the following tasks:

• Technology Day Activities - Work with students to teach them the point of the station. In the past we've had stations (Maker Faire like exhibits) such as air rocket launchers, coding schools, catapults, and robot programming.
• Technology Day Registration & General Help - This position would help check in contestants, setup and break-down the event, direct people and provide general support.
• Registration - Both Sunday and Monday we need help with registering projects.
• Judges - If you have a science background, we need judges to help us review, score, judge and provide good feedback on 300+ projects.
• Fair Host - All day Wednesday & Thursday we need personable people to welcome visitors and over 500 students to the fair, provide simple information and generally watch out for the open venue.

If anything here interests you or if you have any questions, please contact Brian Kreck(brian@kreck.com)
