Judges needed for Region Science and Engineering Fairs on March 8, March 10

The Great Falls Montana Regional Science and Engineering Fairs are scheduled to be in-person again, with the middle and high school fairs on March 8 and the elementary fair on March 10.

Great Falls College MSU needs judges for the Great Falls College Regional Science and Engineering fairs on March 8 and March 10.

 The middle school and high school fair is Tuesday, March 8, and the elementary fair is Thursday, March 10.

 “We are so excited to be able to offer an in-person fair again,” said Charla Merja, science fair director. “People will be amazed at the projects these students bring to the fair. It is truly an inspiration.”

 In 2020, the last in-person fair, there were about 250 projects.

 “It is not possible without judges from all over the community,” Merja said. “It is incredibly fun, and we really appreciate those who are able to take a few hours out of their day to make this event possible for our youth.” 

 The fairs are tentatively scheduled for 8:30 to 11 a.m. both days.  When the schedule is finalized, it will be posted on the college’s website: www.gfcmsu.edu/sciencefair/index.html.

 Students also can register with links off the same page.
