We invite current college students, faculty, industry professionals, retirees and all STEM enthusiasts to volunteer as judges to review project categories where they have experience and expertise.
Criteria for Senior Division Judges: in pursuit of a master’s degree or higher or at least five years of experience in a science and/or engineering field.
Criteria for Junior Division Judges: in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree or higher. In lieu of a degree, judges may have at least three years of experience in a science and/or engineering field or four years of work experience in a physical or life science field.
Category Judges are responsible for reviewing projects as well as providing encouragement and constructive criticism; your opinions are highly valued by these students. We expect over 1,400 students participating in 21 categories in 2 divisions.

There also are two project types:
