The York County Science and Engineering Fair is planned by a committee of local volunteers representing

technical and educational organizations for the purpose of providing York County students with an opportunity

to expand and increase their expertise in science and engineering. The Fair provides additional incentive by

offering awards, scholarships, and an occasion to receive expert evaluation of projects for future science fair

participants.

PPHHIILLOOSSOOPPHHYY OOFF JJUUDDGGIINNGG

In our quest to fairly judge the student entrants, the York County Science and Engineering Fair Committee

encourages judges to adopt a consistent and equitable strategy in awarding points that encourages the

individual student through a combination of praise and constructive suggestions.

Although the judge must provide discrimination separating students into award groups, their greater

responsibility is fostering an interest in science and engineering that will continue throughout the student's life.

The point system is designed to assist the judge in accomplishing these two objectives. On the first day of

judging, students are judged against a specific and objective criteria and are not compared against each other.

Therefore, judges often award points that generate multiple place awards in each award category. No student

receives less than an Honorable Mention.

Most of the special awards are judged by individuals representing the organization providing the award. Each

organization designs their own criteria and judging methods for their special award.
