Looking for a way to give back and support future scientists and engineers?

Judges are an essential part of The Academy’s Regional K-12 St. Louis Science Fair experience, providing each student with constructive feedback that could influence them for years to come.

Honors Division Judges

To judge in the Honors Division, you must have a terminal degree in your field or 5+ years of experience working in a science or engineering field.


Regional Division Judge

Regional Division judging is open to all individuals interested in advancing the next generation of scientists.

  • High School, Undergrad, and Graduate Students (The Academy of Science will provide validation of volunteer hours if needed.)
  • Professionals and Retirees from corporations, industry, educational institutions, science and community organizations, and institutions of higher ed.
  • Retires, Pre-Service, and Current Educators

Safety Review Committee

The SRC and IRB of the STL Science Fair have the primary jobs of ensuring that (1) all Honors Division projects are completed safely and ethically and (2) all Honors Division projects have the correct adult supervision and paperwork to comply with international research guidelines. The SRC and IRB meet once a month from September to January to approve projects.

We invite professionals from all scientific fields, but have a particular need for those in biomedical, medical, and behavioral sciences, computer science, and artificial intelligence.
