Howdy All!

I have a bleg. Here in the D/FW Metroplex I volunteer as a judge for the Dallas Regional Science & Engineering Fair each year. I just got a reminder e-mail that it is coming up on Saturday February 28 at Fair Park, and they’re still short of judges for the expected 600 projects.

So if you are in the D/FW metroplex, or know someone who is, and you think you’re qualified to judge junior and high school science projects, please contact the folks at the link above.

You won’t just be serving your community, you will also be serving the future. It doesn’t get much cooler than that.

[Full Disclosure:
1) I judged the junior division two years ago and was a team captain (meaning I had to stay longer than the other judges) for senior division last year.
2) I used my Master of Space Studies, cum laude, from ISU as qualification for judging in the Physics & Astronomy category. (A BA in Int’l Business & Economics sure wasn’t going to cut it)
3) I work for an affiliate of one of the sponsors, Beal Bank. (P.S. I never worked for Beal Aerospace. It was closed before I was hired, and is history.)]
