Summary

The St Maarten Science Fair Foundation is looking for Judges to evaluate the submitted STEAM projects of the students.

Detailed description

Judging is a highlight for students at the Science Fair as it allows them to not only share their work but also exchange ideas with experts within their interested field and get constructive feedback on their projects.


Science Week 2025, themed "Change and Adapt with AI," will be held from March 31, 2025, to April 4, 2025, with its award ceremony on April 12, 2025.


Juding for the annual Science Fair is scheduled to take place on Thursday, April 3, 2023, from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m with a briefing at 3:30pm. A preliminary virtual session of max 45 min is scheduled in the week prior to the Fair.


To be eligible to judge, persons should have at least a bachelor’s degree (or equivalent expertise) in science, technology, environmental science, or a related discipline. 


Projects will be judged according to

  1. Research question (scientific thought)
  2. Design and Methodology (skill)
  3. Data Collection, Analysis & Interpretation (thoroughness)
  4. Presentation (clarity)
  5. Originality & Creativity.
