REQUEST FOR 2009 SCIENCE FAIR JUDGES AWG provides Student Award for Geoscience Excellence (SAGE) certificates through the Society for Science & the Public (formerly Science Service), the sponsoring organization of the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), to young women whose projects exemplify an understanding of our world and its processes. The 2009 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) will be held in Reno, Nevada on May 8 – 15, 2009. AWG presents three female students with awards each year at the ISEF. AWG would like to field a team of at least three AWG Special Awards judges at the 2009 ISEF to present our awards. Pre-judging is generally on Tuesday afternoon and judging with the students present is all day Wednesday, with the awards presentation on Thursday evening. I have several resources to share, including a "calling card", the certificate paper and certificate templates, AWG judging guidelines, and other miscellaneous information. AWG members interested in judging in a local/regional science fair in 2009 or participating as an AWG Special Awards judge at the 2009 ISEF are invited and encouraged to contact Valerie Honeycutt at jvhoney@sbcglobal.net or 972-989-1583. Judging requirements: The ISEF requires that it's Special Award Judges have either a Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent *OR* a minimum of 6 years teaching or research experience at a university or at the industrial level and should be actively engaged in the field being judged. Judging categories: behavioral and social sciences, biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, computer science, earth science, engineering (materials and bioengineering), engineering (electrical and mechanical), energy and transportation, environmental analysis, environmental management, mathematical sciences, medicine and health sciences, microbiology, physics and astronomy, and plant sciences.
