Volunteer to Judge at 2021 Synopsys Championship

We invite you to encourage future scientists and engineers by judging at our science and technology fair on March 11th.  This year, due to the pandemic, the Championship will be conducted by web conferencing. We expect as many as 1,000 students to participate. Students in grades six through twelve, attending schools in Santa Clara County will demonstrate their research projects.

Both returning and new judges must register online at:
https://science-fair.org/database/judge.php
Don’t forget to click the “Register as a Judge” button after completing your registration form.

Judges who participate are required to be available during the ENTIRE duration of the web conferencing (12:30 to 6:00 PM PST). Judges need a college degree in a field of science, engineering, technology or math.

If you wish to be on a judging team with one friend or colleague who is in your field, please indicate this in the comments field as you register (and make sure that they also register.) If you know of colleagues who would make good judges, please forward this message to them.

Further details, including the schedule and the Judging Guide, can be found at the Judge’s link/webpage on our website:

If you have any questions, OR wish to be removed from our database, please email us at:

The Synopsys Championship encourages talented students to pursue careers in science and technology.  Please join us to share your passion for science and technology, in support of the next generation of local innovators! There are many opportunities to volunteer, and it all starts with just one afternoon as a Category Judge!

Mentors are available for high school students through the SSSMART Mentorship Program. This  program was set up by the Synopsys Outreach Foundation in collaboration with the SJSU College of Engineering to help high school students prepare for their project-based science event. Students can work with the mentors to ask questions, work through their challenges, and seek additional guidance about careers in STEM.

On the program’s website, students can see a list of mentors and sign up for office hours; teachers can request a virtual classroom visit; and everyone can view live and recorded events and tutorials.
