Had a phenomenal time judging at the 2019 SARSEF Science and Engineering Fair for the second annual Spark Gap Award, as well as The Temp Connection Achievement Award and the Julie Paulson Practical Business Award. The pre-k through high school future innovators I engaged show exuberance, deft critical thinking skills, and a deep affection for the future of Arizona and our world.
A special, "Thank You," to the SARSEF 2019 Fair title sponsor Tucson Electric Power, SARSEF staff including Brooke MacNeil Meyer, Liz Bowman, and Kathleen Bethel, fellow SARSEF Directors, and the large number of community partners from government, industry, and academia who said, "Yes," when asked to judge, sponsor awards, and interview these talented young people. You make the difference! The time you took to partner with SARSEF in shepherding, developing, and interacting with these bright young persons will go miles in assisting them on their journeys towards making the world a better place!
