Judge's Checklist

****Devon Canada is the proud Awards and Evaluations Partner****

Each year there are several hundred people from Calgary who volunteer to be judges at the Calgary Youth Science Fair. Without these volunteers, the fair would not be possible.

Please note that this year the fair is at the Olympic Oval at the U of C.

If you are interested in being a judge at the science fair, are at least 19 years old or attending a post-secondary institution, all you need to do is follow these steps:
  1. Review the judges FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) found here. (still being updated with new locations, dates and times)

  2. Complete the online registration found here.

  3. If you haven't judged before, or if you'd like a refresher, attend one of the Judging Seminars that are held before the fair. The seminars helps judges become more familiar with the fair, the scientific method, judging procedures and communicating with young scientists. Returning judges who would like a refresher on the judging process are also encouraged to attend.  Sandwiches, juice and cookies are provided.

  4. The dates for the seminars are as follows:

  • Seminar 1: Monday April 8, 2013, 12 to 1 pm - Devon Tower, 32nd Flr, 400 3 Ave SW.

  • Seminar 2: Thursday April 18, 2013, 6 to 7 pm -University of Calgary- Olympic Oval.

  1. Attend the Judges' Preview night on April 18th from 5:00 - 8:00  at the Olympic Oval.  All judges are encouraged to drop in to preview the projects with no students present and to meet with other judges in a social setting.  Once again, judges will be given the project locations of the projects they will likely be judging on Friday morning.  Snacks and beverages will be provided.

  2. Show up for the actual judging day on April 19th at the Olympic Oval at 7:15 am.  Unless you are involved in the second round judging process, you should be finished by around noon.

If after reading the Frequently Asked Questions, you have questions that still haven't been answered, please contact Jennifer Gerritsen for elementary judging, Danny Glin for secondary judging.

You can find the tally sheet used for judging: here for elementary (English), here for elementary (French), here for secondary (English), or here for Secondary (French).
