Posted by on February 25, 2005

Dear Colleague:
You are invited to serve as a judge at the 26th annual George Washington Carver Science Fair.

The Carver Science Fair encourages urban youth to pursue academic achievement, careers in science, civic involvement, and character development. Jointly sponsored by The School District and The Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Temple University, and the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Fair is open to all Philadelphia public, charter, parochial, and private school students in grades four through twelve. Since its inception in 1979, over 18,000 students have participated in the Carver Science Fair and have, in many cases, moved on to compete in the Delaware Valley Science Fair.

As in previous years, the judging day includes a continental breakfast, a brief introduction to the fair, project evaluations through the morning, a buffet lunch, the opportunity to network with colleagues, and individual student interviews. Judges also receive free parking.

The dates, times, and locations of this year’s judging activities are:
*Grades 7 through 12
Tuesday, March 8, 2005, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM
McGonigle Hall at Temple University, Broad Street & Montgomery Ave.

*Grades 4 through 6
Wednesday, March 30, 2005 from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM
The Academy of Natural Sciences, 19th Street and Benjamin Franklin Parkway
