[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 7853766, member: 576029"] I have been a judge for regional science fairs. I enjoyed it. I could tell who knew their project and who didn't. Most judges were regular people who didn't understand a thing. I would encourage some and even recommend other steps or teach them something about their experiment. Others I would shoot down for lack of technical feasibility. I won my colleges engineering expo for a project that designed and demonstrated a delta modulator that digitized a signal from a mic and transmitted it to another room. So they judges could talk and hear themselves. I positioned myself next to a white board so I could explain it to them in terms they understood, and with sketches. I am a good salesman. I won $100 and bought a keg for th EE's since others had way better projects they couldn't explain to the judges. An my "project" was mandatory for my communications class! Every year I return as an alumni judge for the expo. [/QUOTE]
