Judges

The Southwest Ohio Science and Engineering Expo relies on many qualified teachers and community members employed in STEM-related fields to serve as volunteer judges. In accordance with OAS rule, all participating schools are required to provide judges for the event. Companies or organizations sponsoring a special award may also serve as judges.

This year’s fair will be hosted on March 15, 2025, in-person at Tangeman University Center on
UC’s Campus. We are searching for educators and professionals to volunteer to judge the
student research projects on March 9th. Training and tutorials will be provided to judges prior to
the Expo.

The Ohio Academy of Science, following ISEF standards, has twenty-two categories listed
below, that will be used at SEE and State Science Day in 2025:
      • Animal Sciences
      • Behavioral and Social Sciences
