Previous Email sent out Late February—revised judge list
Good day, TSEF judges,
At the bottom of this document is a listing of judges with their assigned categories.
If you find something that needs to be corrected, please let me know.
About the Tidewater Science and Engineering Fair, 2014:
· We had over 400 projects that applied with an acceptance of around 300.
· We had a large increase in Environmental Science projects.
Categories
· You will hopefully find that you have been assigned one of your choices. (We certainly appreciate those of you with flexibility!)
· We have not designated you as a Senior category judge or a Junior category judge. Your group will decide the morning of Sat., March 15th as to who will judge which group.
· Some category groups are small and your group may decide to judge all the projects.
Head Judges
· For larger categories, we need a Senior Head Judge and a Junior Head Judge. For smaller categories, we may have just one Head Judge.
· Some of you have served in this capacity before and we appreciate your expertise.
· Some of you will find that you have just been tapped as a head judge. I apologize for not having the time to contact each of you beforehand, so I am hoping that you can serve in this position.
· We tried to select head judges with experience.
· Duties of a head judge include keeping the judges on task and organized, and giving results to the central command station.
· You will also be asked to help make the top selections (overall winners) for either the Senior or the Junior divisions.
· Some of the Senior Head Judges may also be asked to make a Special Award selection that pertains to that specific category.
· All of this information will be included in your judges’ packet that you will receive Sat. morning.
What to expect
· Students are in the process of submitting an electronic copy of their abstracts, a short description of their work and results.
· We hope to have these uploaded to the TSEF’s ODU website by the beginning of March.
· At the beginning of March we will be sending you information that will allow you to login at the site and read the abstracts from your category.
Saturday, March 15th
· Parking will be limited. Signs should be posted to direct you where to park.
· Breakfast pastries and drinks will be provided.
· Meetings start at 7:30 with your groups released into the project areas around 7:45 for a quick preview WITHOUT students.
· Students will be released into the project areas around 8:45 so that you can interact with them.
· Students will be removed from the project areas (judges only) from 11:30 to 12:30.
· Final decisions are due around noon to the Central Command Post.
· We will be offering you a boxed lunch starting around 11 am.
· The awards ceremony (you are invited to attend) will be from 2 to 4.
If you have special needs (ex. boxed lunch), please let me know ASAP.
We are getting excited!
