RISEF
Since 1995, the Rhode Island Science & Engineering Fair has served as a premier primary education student research showcase. With participation of approximately 500 students from 90 schools across the state, RISEF’s goal is to promote science education and investigation by RI students.
With the help of great sponsors such as Base 8 Group, Bishop Hendricken High School, Raytheon, U.S. Armed Forces and more, RISEF will continue to promote the importance of science education and showcase the unique talents of Rhode Island’s brightest students.

YOU BE THE JUDGE!
Once again it's the time of year when we ask you to serve as a judge for the RI
Science and Engineering Fair on Saturday, March 26, 2011. On this day hundreds
of students in grades 6-12 from across Rhode Island will gather at CCRI in
Warwick to exhibit their science projects. These students have devoted many
hours of work to their research and analysis and to the presentation of their
results. They are excited to have been selected to represent their schools at
the statewide science and engineering fair, and they are enthusiastic about
science. Participation in the science fair should be a memorable positive
experience for these students that will influence them to study science further
and perhaps continue to a career in this field. In order to provide such a
positive and enriching experience for the participants, we need a large number
of judges who are themselves enthusiastic and knowledgeable about science.
This year we are again using an on-line registration form for judges. Please go
to the website listed below, complete the form and click "submit." You will
receive an email acknowledgement that your registration has been recorded.
Please select categories that best fit your scientific background and training.
Go to
http://www.ric.edu/risef to sign up. Be sure to use the mouse or tab key to
move from field to field in this form. If you hit Enter, the incomplete form
will be submitted.
If you have friends or coworkers who are qualified and might be interested in
judging, we would appreciate it if you could forward this message to them and
encourage them to participate. As in the
past, we will send you detailed directions to CCRI and information about
specific times, etc. about a week before the fair, but based on past years you
should plan to arrive at about 11:30 and stay for most of the afternoon.
2011 RISEF WINNERS!
