The students at Bloom-Carroll High School are gearing up to take part in the 2019-2020 science fair circuit and need your help! We are looking for people within the scientific community at large willing to mentor a student on an as-needed basis as they work to develop their science fair project. Volunteers should be willing to partake in at least two in-person meetings with the student (one at the start of the mentoring program and one before their local science fair). All other communication can take place in a manner that is convenient for you (e-mail, telephone, video call, etc.). This is your opportunity to help a young budding scientist succeed and thrive!

Sigma Xi will be hosting a meet-and-greet session at Bloom Carroll High School on September 10th, 2019 (2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.). Join us then!

To access more information and to become a mentoring partner, please e-mail adrianna.matos@nationwidechildrens.org

The Ohio State Chapter of Sigma Xi is looking for judges to evaluate projects at Ohio Academy of Science State Science Day. This will be at 8 am on May 11, 2019 at the French Field House (460 Woody Hayes Dr. Columbus, OH 43210) at The Ohio State University. Each year, thousands of students from all over Ohio complete independent research projects. These students present their research at the local and the District level, and the highest-rated projects go on to compete at State Science Day. This event is the high-point of student-based scientific-research, and in 2019 it will be entering its 71st year.

Our Sigma Xi chapter sponsors three special awards; 1) the Interdisciplinary Research Award, 2) the Science of Evolution Award and 3) the American Physiological Society Award. If you can assist with the judging projects at State Science Day please RSVP online (go.osu.edu/CwUX) by May 7. You will receive additional information on judging by email on May 9.
