REGISTER FOR SASEF 2019 JUDGING HERE!
Each year, the SASEF needs more than 100 category and special award judges. In the past, scientists, engineers and teachers in and around Knoxville have participated. Most judges work in pairs. If you have never been a judge, but would like to join our team of volunteers, please contact Jan Coley.
