ANOKA, Minn. – (Jan. 18, 2018) – Organizers are seeking community and staff members to work as volunteers or judges at this year’s Anoka-Hennepin STEM Fair, set for Jan. 27, 8 to noon, at Anoka High School.
The fair, which is the largest in the state, is an opportunity for students at all grade levels to present findings on research projects and experimentation they’ve completed to the general public. It’s a great opportunity for students to engage in authentic science at a high level while also improving their critical thinking, public speaking and research skills.
Volunteer help is needed for the fair to work. Parents, community members and staff who want to volunteer can help work at the event, or also judge the competition — both are needed. Teachers who volunteer can earn up to five continuing education credits.
Prospective judges do not need science or math backgrounds and event organizers provide training for all of the judges. Registration information for judges/volunteers, along with STEM Fair schedule information is available at ahschools.us/stemfair.
For questions, contact Kevin Molohon, coordinator of the district STEM Fair at 763-506-6200.
