Be a Judge or Volunteer! 👩‍🔬👨‍🔬

The Science Fair wouldn’t be possible without our volunteers!

Judges

If you have a background in a STEM field, consider volunteering as a Science Fair Judge. Judges help encourage students and celebrate their hard work.

Event Volunteers

We are also looking for volunteers to help with:

  • Setup & cleanup

  • Student sign-in and flow management
    (We aim to have 1–2 volunteers per grade at sign-in to keep lines moving smoothly.)

High School Volunteers

We are exploring opportunities for Lexington High School student volunteers, including:

  • Assisting with judging support

  • Helping with setup and cleanup

  • Supporting student check-in and logistics

If you are interested to sign up as a volunteer, please sign up here: https://forms.gle/kq4NLJqqUwRtS3zq9 

 

💡 BUILDING OUR SCIENCE FAIR TEAM

We’re forming a Science Fair Committee to support the leads.


Key volunteer roles include:

  • Media & Design: certificates, programs, signage

  • Logistics: table map, event rundown, on-site setup

  • Communications: emails to registered scientists, coordination with Principal, Superintendent, and PTO

  • Grade-level Reps: family outreach
