Are you smarter than an 8th grader? You might be surprised at what budding scientists and engineers are cooking up today.

The 56th Annual Ventura County Schools Science Fair seeks volunteers to judge student projects. Because of an increase in technology projects, the judging corps needs people with hard sciences and technologies backgrounds, especially:

• Chemistry
• Earth, Space and Environmental Sciences
• Engineering and Technology, sponsored by HAAS® Engineering
• Mathematics, Computer Science, and Electronics
• Physics

Judging is a one-day event, 8am to 4pm Saturday April 14th, in Santa Rosa Hall at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, Seaside Park. Breakfast and lunch are provided.

Contact Vicky Brown, 805-437-1502, or John Tarkany to for info or to volunteer, or on the web:

• Judge’s Information and Registration
• Judge’s Handbook

I have registered. I hope to see you April 14th!
