[Robotgroup] Fwd: Wells Branch Science Fair

[vkonradi at swbell.net]

Having been involved in science fairs, as a participant, as a volunteer 
advisor, and as a judge, I think this is really a poor idea.  Frankly I'm 
surprised we got such a request at all.

The science fair is a forum for the kids to participate in and present 
their stuff, not an opportunity for an outside group, whoever they are, to 
exhibit.

Volunteering on the front end is a great way to help out.  Judging is also 
an opportunity to be involved, though by the time you see the completed 
projects there isn't much opportunity to advise or educate.

Well anyway, that's what I think.
