Volunteer Judges Needed for 2026 Regional Science Fairs

The Potomac Section of the AIHA has proudly supported the local school systems by judging science fairs and awarding prizes to entries with an environmental, safety or occupational health focus.  Our support of these fairs is an outstanding opportunity to introduce industrial hygiene as a potential scientific field of study to middle and high school students.  Section volunteers in the past have found the experience to be tremendously rewarding and fun. The judging only takes a few hours of well spent outreach time.

Please click on the links below to see more information. We provide the judging criteria, score forms and awards. Register and we will contact you!  The Science Fair Coordinator for each fair supports the judging among the volunteer team and once the outstanding projects are decided provides the fair with the certificates and awards.

To volunteer, sign up for the fair(s) which you can attend and judge.

If you would like to be the Fair Coordinator for Fairfax, Prince Georges' or Loudoun County, contact the Event Coordinator: Kay at kaydietrich@yahoo.com.
