I have been a judge for the Delaware Valley Science Fairs, Inc. annual science fairs for approximately 20 years, involving upwards of 1000 middle and high school students annually from southeastern PA, southern NJ and DE. This organization is well run, husbands it's resources very wisely and makes a tremendous impact on the educational experience of the students, teachers and schools involved. Donations go to the projects and programs, not to excessive administration and fund-raising activities.
DVSF endeavors to inspire students in the fields of science and engineering. The board and the team focus on the student, parent, and teacher experience in an effort to support and encourage young people in independent research and innovation. I started as a teacher, then a parent, progressing to a volunteer, advisory board, and now a staff consultant.
