Good Day, Category Judges,
Just a few updates:
ABSTRACTS are ready. (An abstract is summary page that each students was to send us electronically

http://www.cs.odu.edu/~scifair/RegionalFair/judge/index.php
 Login as a judge
 The username & password is judge and password for all categories .

JUDGES’ ENTRANCE TO WEBB CENTER – about one block from the football stadium parking garage, on
the 49th Street side towards the back of Webb Center. Look for a small brick parking lot and come up
those steps that face 49th Street.

FOOD – Breakfast (pastries, coffee, and juices) will be provided in the morning with a box lunch (veggie,
ham or turkey) available around 11:30. We are finalizing the food order, so that if you have special

Previous Email sent out Late February—revised judge list
Good day, TSEF judges,
At the bottom of this document is a listing of judges with their assigned categories.
If you find something that needs to be corrected, please let me know.
About the Tidewater Science and Engineering Fair, 2014:


We had over 400 projects that applied with an acceptance of around 300.
We had a large increase in Environmental Science projects.
Categories
 You will hopefully find that you have been assigned one of your choices. (We certainly
appreciate those of you with flexibility!)
 We have not designated you as a Senior category judge or a Junior category judge. Your group
will decide the morning of Sat., March 15th as to who will judge which group.
 Some category groups are small and your group may decide to judge all the projects.
Head Judges
 For larger categories, we need a Senior Head Judge and a Junior Head Judge. For smaller
categories, we may have just one Head Judge.
 Some of you have served in this capacity before and we appreciate your expertise.
 Some of you will find that you have just been tapped as a head judge. I apologize for not having
the time to contact each of you beforehand, so I am hoping that you can serve in this position.
 We tried to select head judges with experience.
 Duties of a head judge include keeping the judges on task and organized, and giving results to
the central command station.
 You will also be asked to help make the top selections (overall winners) for either the Senior or
the Junior divisions.
 Some of the Senior Head Judges may also be asked to make a Special Award selection that
pertains to that specific category.
 All of this information will be included in your judges’ packet that you will receive Sat. morning.
What to expect
 Students are in the process of submitting an electronic copy of their abstracts, a short
description of their work and results.
 We hope to have these uploaded to the TSEF’s ODU website by the beginning of March.
 At the beginning of March we will be sending you information that will allow you to login at the
site and read the abstracts from your category.
Saturday, March 15th
 Parking will be limited. Signs should be posted to direct you where to park.
 Breakfast pastries and drinks will be provided.
 Meetings start at 7:30 with your groups released into the project areas around 7:45 for a quick
preview WITHOUT students.
 Students will be released into the project areas around 8:45 so that you can interact with them.
 Students will be removed from the project areas (judges only) from 11:30 to 12:30.
 Final decisions are due around noon to the Central Command Post.
 We will be offering you a boxed lunch starting around 11 am.
 The awards ceremony (you are invited to attend) will be from 2 to 4.
If you have special needs (ex. boxed lunch), please let me know ASAP.
We are getting excited!
