What is the Minnesota Academy of Science State Fair and the Jr. Science & Humanities Symposium (JSHS)?
The Fair and JSHS are annual events that showcase Minnesota's best and brightest science students and
are the culmination of nine Minnesota Regional Science Fairs. From approximately 2,500 regional participants,
350 7th - 12th graders are selected to present a Project at the Science Fair, and another 70 students are selected to present papers
at the Fair and at JSHS.
Students present their original research and are evaluated on four criteria: the process of science; effectiveness of communication;
context of the project and their scope of understanding. Each project or paper is classified into one of the following disciplines:
| Animal Sciences |
| Behavioral & Social Sciences |
| Biochemistry |
| Cellular & Molecular Biology |
| Chemistry |
| Computer Science |
| Earth Science |
|
| Engineering: Materials & Bioengineering |
| Engineering: Electrical & Mechanical |
| Energy & Transportation |
| Environmental Analysis |
|
| Environmental Management |
| Mathematical Sciences |
| Medicine & Health Sciences |
| Microbiology |
| Physics and Astronomy |
| Plant Sciences |

go on to compete in this prestigious international science competition where they meet top science students and
scientists from around the world.
How do I sign up?
Online Registration is available beginning in January.
If I'm a Paper or Project Judge, will I get any training or instructions on how to judge?
Absolutely - not only do we Open the day with a quick judge training, we also provide a Judging guide,
sample judging forms and a training slide show online.
What qualifications are required to be a Paper or Project Judge?
To judge senior high projects and papers, you must must have a Doctorate in a science / technology / engineering / math field.
If you don't have a doctoral degree we ask that you have a Bachelors or Masters and 6 or more years of research/industry experience in your field.
To judge junior high projects and papers, you must have a Bachelors degree in a science / technology / engineering / math field or
2 years equivalent experience in field.
Based on past student participation, we will require a minimum of 150 judges for the events.
What's in it for ME?
An experience you're going to LOVE! Not only can you have fun while helping others and
encouraging today's youth, but this is also an excellent opportunity for networking,
developing analytical, evaluation, & communication skills, and learning a LOT.
MAS cannot reimburse you for time, travel, or hotel accommodations, but we will feed you (well!)
and there will be no cost to you other than parking or public transportation to downtown.
