The Science Engineering Fair of Houston is an all volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)(3) educational organization. As such we have a major need for volunteers each year. Our most critical need is for SEFH Place Award Judges on March 13, 2009 at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Hall E. All potential judges need to complete and submit a Judging Application which can be found at http://hunstem.uhd.edu/SEFH/judgeapp_main.htm.
Judges should have at least a baccalaureate degree or the equivalent in an area of social/behavioral science, natural science, engineering or technology. They are encouraged to wear an article of clothing that identifies their employer or professional society. Judges are needed for both Phase I and Phase II judging. Phase I is from 8:30 a.m. – noon and Phase II is from 1:00-5:00 p.m. If possible, we would like judges to judge both phases; however, the biggest need is for Phase I. All place award judging is done by teams of judges. More details on judging guidelines and procedures can be found at: http://hunstem.uhd.edu/SEFH/documents/judgecriteriaprocedures%2008.pdf.
Parking garages and surface lots are available adjacent to the convention center; however, they are not free.
Much more information about SEFH can be found at: http://www.sefhouston.org.
There will be about 1,500 student participants in grades 7-12 from public/private/charter/home schools from throughout most of Southeast Texas. They can enter individual or team projects in one of many applied and basic categories, in the Junior, Ninth or Senior Division.
