Volunteer to Judge

Judges are integral to the success of Lake to River Science Day. Without judges like you, we could not have this event to encourage student to pursue science 
and engineering projects.


All judges must register online at ProjectBoard (click for a PDF overview)

  1. Select Judge on the home page and then click "apply now"
  2. On the next screen, click "get started" to submit your application
  3. You will then be prompted to log in or create an account
