We had a total of 5 third-party volunteer Judges donate hours of their time this week to interview our students and evaluate their projects. The interview process provides a wonderful opportunity for our students to explain what they learned and answer questions about their work. We are so grateful for our Judges who include engineers, biochemists, microbiologists, and librarians.
We also need to express sincere gratitude to all the parent volunteers as well! As well as a huge thank you to Dr. Tonia Cohen, who supports our 6th graders who move onto the LA County Science & Engineering Fair! Our STEM Expo could not have worked without each and everyone one of our volunteers. Thank You!!
