Judges needed for regional science fairs: Prepare to be amazed

Volunteer to step into today’s classroom of technology and science by being a science fair judge. The experiments go beyond expectations; their titles alone tell you quickly that this is not the science fair you knew when you were in school.

Prince William–Manassas Regional Middle/Senior and Elementary Science Fairs will be on March 12 and April 9, respectively. Both fairs will be held in the atrium of the Edward L. Kelly Leadership Center. To be a judge for either science fair call Darla Edwards at 703.791.7240 or send an email to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
