The Educational Activities Committee will be very busy during March and early April. Volunteers from the Section judged special awards categories at the North Alabama Regional Science and Engineering Fair (NARSEF) held at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). The Section will also provide judges for the Alabama State Science and Engineering Fair (ASEF), which is scheduled to be held at UAH during April 2007. Science fair awards include a certificate and $100 Savings Bond for 4 Junior and 4 Senior projects in each fair. The Section was a Category Sponsor for the NARSEF and will also be a category sponsor for the ASEF. Section representatives will participate in judging the Alabama Council for Technology in Education (ACTE) programming contests on March 27th and other ACTE events at the VBC on March 28th.
