This May, 2,000 high school students from 80 countries will compete in Phoenix at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
Now, the Society for Science & the Public, which runs the program, is calling for a village of volunteers to help pull it off.
The fair runs May 13-17, and provides around $5 million in awards, scholarships, internships and prizes.
Putting on the world's largest international pre-college science competition takes almost as many volunteers as contestants, including 1,000 judges, 200 interpreters and more than 500 other volunteers.
Those interested in judging must:
- Have a minimum of six years related professional experience beyond receiving their B.A., B.S., or master's degree, OR
- Have a Ph.D., M.D., or equivalent (D.O., Ed.D., D.D.S., D.V.M., etc.), OR
- Be a current graduate student with more than four years of doctoral-level research experience or who is within one year of doctoral dissertation defense.
Interpreters are needed in 20 languages, especially Arabic, Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese and Portuguese.
