KID Museum is seeking enthusiastic and engaging volunteers (18+ adults only) to serve as Judges during our Invent the Future Expo.
What is the Invent the Future Expo?
Invent the Future is one of the DC Metro region’s largest maker challenges integrating science, technology, engineering, and design. Through the process of designing their own inventions, students learn to innovate, solve problems, gain confidence, and work with others - all crucial skills for future success. The Expo is a community-wide event celebrating and elevating student innovators while also showcasing challenges, activities, and exhibitions from leading corporations and community groups.
What do judges do?
Judges will review Invent the Future team projects with a rubric, ask questions, and provide feedback and support. No technical experience is necessary, although Judges with STEM or other related backgrounds are preferred. Judges will receive an orientation video and digital packet about the Invent the Future program, the design and creation process, and expectations for judging teams' showcase presentations.
What is the time commitment?
The event is on Sunday, June 1. The time commitment is 10:30am-1:30pm. Judges will be assigned a 1.5 hour shift during this time. Judges are encouraged to stay for the Award Program from 2:00-3:00. How do I sign up?
