Hi guys.
Obviously Big Screw comes in frist in priority, but if there are enough
people interested in doing this, and you e-mail me soon enough we'll send
an APO-delegation. (Big shout out to Carolyn for sending this along)
The Chelsea Science Fair is happening on Wednesday 14, from 2:30-5. They
desperately need people to help them judge science fair projects, and talk
to the kiddies about their projects, careers in science, interesting
things in science, torturing monkeys with burning tongs of iron, etc.
Does anyone kno how to get to Chelsea?
Let me know if you are interested. If we get more than 3 people
interested, we will mnake it an official APO project. If not people are
welcome to go anyway.

> Judging the science fair would involve being at Chelsea High School from

> science fair projects, probably in areas closely related to your field.
> Most importantly, you would give the students the opportunity to talk about
> their projects with qualified scientists and engineers who can give them
> advice on pursuing science and validate their efforts. This means a lot to

> If you are available and willing, we would very much appreciate your help.
> If you can come, please e-mail me back with the following information:

> 2) Title

> 3) Mailing address (so I can send you a judging packet with further

> you'll be judging)

> 4) Fields you would feel comfortable judging--remember this is mostly high
> school level--choose from the following or specify "any field": Astronomy,
> Behavioral Science, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computers, Earth
> Science, Electronics,
> Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Environmental Science
