The Kansas Junior Academy is looking for judges for their science competition.  The Kansas Junior Academy is a great opportunity for Middle and High School students to get involved in scientific research. As adult scientists and researchers we have the opportunity to support these students and give them guidance to become the future researchers.

Last year at the State Meeting of the Kansas Junior Academy of Science (KJAS) over 100 student presentations were made.  This year’s KJAS State Meeting will again be held on the WSU campus. Its success depends largely on the efforts of our professional judges.
 
Your responsibility as a judge requires you to read and critique written scientific papers and then travel to WSU for the state KJAS meeting on May 6, 2010 and critique oral presentations of the research. The papers you critique will be mailed or delivered to you approximately one week prior to the state competition.  
 
Morning sessions will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.  Afternoon sessions will be from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.  As a small token of appreciation our judges are invited to be our guest for dinner at the KJAS awards banquet which begins at 5:00 p.m.

Please contact Amy Strong for a volunteer form if you are interested in judging.
