    Description

    180 more judges needed for Twin Cities Regional Science Fairs -food, free parking, FUN science

    Science fair is an educational opportunity that encourages students in grade 6-12 in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education. Science fair teaches all students critical thinking and project planning skills. We plan to have hand sanitation available. Masks are optional as long as it remains safe. We ask anyone who has symptoms of illness to stay home and heal.

    We need 300 judges to help at the 88th Annual Twin Cities Regional Science Fairs for in-person judging on Friday, February 27. Sign up on our website or email for more information.

    We also need help with judging students’ entered research papers online Feb. 8-17, 2026. We need help with judging student projects with in-person displays on Friday, February 27, 2026. For papers, you read and score online and leave comments for the students. For projects, first you review the project entry at your leisure, then you get to meet the students in person to discuss their project.

    Thank you for helping to encourage these Twin Cities students in grades 6-12 in science, technology, engineering, and math!

    Register on our competition and registration site at https://tcrsf.zfairs.com/ Both the project and the research paper competitions are on this site, with the student presentations of the project in-person.

    Parking is free for our entire event. For all judges and volunteers, we provide a catered buffet dinner on Friday, February 27. We will also email you a PDF documenting your volunteer hours for our event if you request one.

    We never share your data. It is used only for science fair. We communicate primarily by email. Please enjoy helping our all-volunteer organization encourage students in science and technology. We are an all-volunteer 501c3 educational non-profit.

    Go to https://tcrsf.zfairs.com/ . Judges pull down the Create Account from the top and choose Judge. On this site, do not use your email address or any punctuation in the User Name that you choose. Scoring is online using your own device, or we can provide paper and pencil if you prefer for the in-person project judging. Please help us encourage these students in STEM.

    And please pass the word to your colleagues!
