ESC volunteers boast many former scientists, doctors, and engineers who want to make science a positive and exciting experience

for youth and young adults. One way we do this is through Science Comes Alive!; a program that places ESC science volunteers in  classrooms as advisors to teachers who may not be comfortable conducting hands-on science experiments with their students.

Another component of our science program involves Science Fairs. Teams of ESC science volunteers coach teachers through the science fair planning process and offer tips on how to produce quality projects. The volunteers have years of experience judging science fairs and have created special resources including Teacher and Student Science Fair Guides and a Science Fair Judging Form that has been adopted for use at the Hoosier Science & Engineering Fair.

Science Fairs are an excellent way to make science fun for large numbers of students. Science Fairs also teach important life skills like organization and problem-solving.

ESC Science Program Goals Help teachers become more comfortable conducting science experiments in their classrooms. Excite young students about the wonders of science. Help middle school teachers and administrators prepare for science fairs. Help students prepare quality science fair projects. Create an awareness of career possibilities in the field of science and related fields. Encourage consistency in the judging process for science fairs. Facilitate corporate/school partnerships that emphasize science.
Science Fair Advisor Teams Recently, ESC began a new program that helped middle schools with science fairs. This year we have standardized this program to enable us to increase the size of our audience. Text has been written and teams have been trained to work with a number of the middle schools to help them put on their first fair or to help them increase the quality of the projects at the fair.
Science Fair Judge Each year, ESC volunteers judge science fairs in IPS and other private schools.
