JUDGES: Required to have professional or educational background in event subject

The MAESA Scholars Fair depends on the dedicated volunteerism of adults from all participating schools to serve as judges for the events. Please review several reminders and changes to our 2022 Scholars Fair as you recruit adults to serve as judges from your school community. Thanks!
  1. NEW: With the addition of a math competition, we ask you to please bring 1-2 more adults to be judges in these events and keep the events running on time for our participants.
  2. Due to the number of Science Fair projects submitted, EVERY SCHOOL must provide a judge for the Science Fair—faculty, parent with science background or Senior student.
  3. The agenda has been designed this year to ensure time in between for judges to break for lunch, thus the need for a few more of them to serve in the rooms at the times designated to achieve this result!
