JUDGES NEEDED:
In order to put on regional competitions for students across Adams, Franklin, and York counties, we are always in need of judges! The best judges have experience in a variety of fields or in education. We're always looking for judges who have a background in graphic design, 3D design, engineering, computer science and programming, and more for our Media and Design Competition and K'Nex STEM Design Competition. If you or someone you know would be interested in judging for a day for our competitions, please have them completed the judging interest form. Thank you!
