Judges and Volunteers are vital to the success of the Montana Science Fair. Please donate a few hours of your time to support young scientists!  Encourage your science colleagues (including retirees), graduate students, and science majors to participate in this exciting event.  Judging by scientists of science projects is a valuable service; it is also an excellent opportunity to engage young students (grades 6-12) in discussions about science.  Varieties of volunteer positions are also available on the day of the fair.  Judging Criteria
