Calling all STEM professionals!
Volunteer as an LRSEF Judge.
Thank you for volunteering as a JUDGE at LRSEF! Your time and talent are much appreciated by LRSEF students, teachers and parents. YOUR talents are needed as Category Judges and Special Awards Judges; you may sign up for both.
- Judges should register online through STEM Wizard
- Review the Judging Criteria [PDF]
- In order to ensure the safety of all LRSEF student participants, every volunteer judge for LRSEF will be asked to participate in a background check provided by the professional company called Sterling Volunteers. Once you register as a judge, LRSEF will send you an invitation to confidentially submit information for the check. If you are able to cover the $19 fee, LRSEF thanks you for this donation. If the fee is a struggle or stretch this year, we truly understand and LRSEF will cover your fee.
Save the Date!
LRSEF will take place Saturday, March 1, 2025 at UofL’s Swain Student Activities Center.
