Greetings, fellow astrophiles – this in from the TACNY email list.

Volunteers and judges are needed for the Central New York Science and Engineering Fair (CNYSEF) sponsored by the Museum of Science and Technology (MOST) on Sunday, March 31, 2019 from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM (schedule) at the SRC Arena on the Onondaga Community College campus. This year, students from ten counties will compete in two divisions, the junior fair for 4th-8th graders and the senior fair for 9th-12th graders. Judges don’t need to be experts in science to listen as the students demonstrate how much they have learned and accomplished. A continental breakfast, lunch and training will be provided for the judges and volunteers. Those interested in volunteering can apply online here. Reply to eturner@most.org if you have any questions.

The encouragement and interest shown by volunteers and judges is an essential part of the student’s science fair experience. Help inspire our future generation of scientists and engineers.

Talk Overview

Almost everywhere you look in today’s world, you will find electronic devices powering and controlling the world. Everything from stoplights to rockets are made possible by computers and their companion software. Have you ever wondered how any of these devices work? Did you know that you can make many of these devices and systems in your own home for only a few dollars? In this talk, Alex will take you through some of the fundamental principals of electronics development, coding, and the creation of physical electronic devices. By the end of the talk, you’ll have a better understanding of the devices and concepts that run everything from global transportation to finance, as well as the knowledge of how to get started making these devices yourself on a microprocessor that has 372 times more processing power than the computers on the Apollo 11 mission but still costs only a few dollars. Alex will also talk about how his knowledge of electronics led him to be one of the two grand prize winners at the Central New York Science and Engineering Fair and how he won a fourth place award in his division at the International Science and Engineering Fair.

Speaker

Alexander Wulff, a Junior at Skaneateles High School

Biography

2016jan12_17809291_mmmainElectronics and software have been some of Alex Wulff’s passions for many years. After injuring his leg playing soccer the summer of his freshman year of high school, Alex began to experiment with the creation of electronics on the Arduino platform, as he was immobile during his recovery. With this new knowledge Alex has created everything from interactive door locks to wearable assistive devices for the blind, which won the grand prize at our local science fair, sponsored by the MOST, and a fourth place award at the International Science and Engineering Fair. Alex also owns, operates, and maintains multiple websites as well as over 10 mobile apps on the iOS App Store.

About TACNY Junior Cafe Scientifique

TACNY Junior Cafe Scientifique, a program for middle-school students founded in 2005, features discussions between scientists and students about topics in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in an informal atmosphere and seeks to encourage students to consider careers in these areas. Students must be accompanied by an adult and can explore the MOST at no cost after the event.

2015 Ying Tri Region Science And Engineering Fair & Central New York Science And Engineering Fair Judging Opportunities

Posted on March 5, 2015 10:15 am - - Leave a Comment

Greetings fellow astrophiles,

Two requests for judging have come across my inbox from TACNY for the Ying Tri Region Science and Engineering Fair (TRSEF) on Sunday, March 15th and the Central New York Science And Engineering Fair (PDF Link) on Sunday, March 22th. I am volunteering for both events and encourage others with any science inclination to see just how smart some of our CNY youths are.

1. Ying Tri Region Science and Engineering Fair – Sunday, March 15th

The Ying TRSEF needs at least 100 judges! Please recruit friends, families, college students, coworkers, and colleagues. For more information about the Ying-TRSEF event, see the following links:

1. For Event Information: www.yingtrsef.org/judges/
2. To Register As a Judge: www.yingtrsef.org/judge-registration/

2. Central New York Science And Engineering Fair – Sunday, March 22th

Volunteers are needed this year to judge projects at the Central New York Science and Engineering Fair on Sunday, March 22, 2015 at the SRC Arena. Students from Cayuga, Cortland, Madison, Onondaga and Oswego counties will compete in two divisions, the junior fair for 4th-8th graders and the senior fair for 9th-12th graders. Judges don’t need to be experts in science to listen as the students demonstrate how much they have learned and accomplished. A continental breakfast, lunch and training will be provided for the judges and volunteers. Those interested in serving as judges or volunteers can apply online here. If you have registered with the MOST online in the past, you do not have to register again. Send an e-mail to volunteer@most.org or call (315) 425-9068 x2145 indicating what fair assignment you would like (junior judge, senior judge, special awards judge, volunteer). For more information, contact the CNYSEF Director at CNYSEF@most.org. Please pass this request on to your colleagues.

The encouragement and interest shown by volunteers and judges is an essential part of the student’s science fair experience. Help inspire our future generation of engineers and scientists.
