BASEF 2016

PEO Members:  Please consider offering your services as a Merit Judge for BASEF 2016!  This is an excellent networking opportunity and a chance to help our future scientists and engineers along their path.
Regardless of your discipline and background, you can judge projects in any field, and judges are needed for all fields.  The full details are below (excerpt from BASEF’s message).  I plan to be there again as a Merit Judge.  Please, after you visit BASEF’s website, if you have any questions at all about judging, feel free to contact me!

Thanks – Dave Howard, P. Eng.  dhoward@LHS.on.ca

BASEF Call for Judges – March 31st, 2016

Registration for BASEF 2016 sponsored by ArcelorMittal Dofasco is expected to be very strong again this year, meaning that we also need a lot of experienced judges helping out! If you are available to judge at BASEF this year, and have not yet registered as a judge, we hope you will consider joining us as a volunteer Science Fair Judge.

Judging Day for BASEF 2016 will be Thursday, March 31st, at Mohawk College, Fennell Avenue in Hamilton, from 8:30am to 4:30pm.

The continued success of this event depends on the support of judges who will volunteer their time, effort and expertise.  To provide the kind of first class judging experience these students deserve, we need more than 150 judges!

We welcome volunteer judges from all backgrounds – education, engineering, health care, science, business, and more.  Post-secondary students who are available for judging day are also welcome.  The only pre-requisite to participating as a judge is an enthusiasm for listening to youth explain and demonstrate their projects and innovations. 

We will have judge training dates available, and encourage first time judges to take part.  (Judge training is mandatory for post-secondary students that have not judged before.)  Training Dates and Locations will be announced in the next few weeks.

Registration for Judges is now open and available online on our web site:

There is also information on judging available on our website at: www.basef.ca/judging

We’d be pleased to answer any questions you may have.  Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide in helping with this valuable and enjoyable community opportunity!

Respectfully,

Neil Manmohan and George Geczy,
BASEF Judging Team
