• 2023 Arizona Science and Engineering Fair (AzSEF) will be held in person for the first time since 2019, and we are actively looking for judges and volunteers!

  In case you are not familiar with AzSEF, it is the state level science fair for Arizona that brings together first-place winners from school, homeschool, district, county, and regional science fairs across Arizona to compete for thousands of dollars in prizes and scholarships. The Grand Award winners in the Senior Division from the state-level fair will be selected to compete at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (RISEF).

  This year AzSEF is scheduled for Thursday, March 30 and Friday, March 31 at the Phoenix Convention Center, West Building. We anticipate between 700 and 800 students participating this year, which means we will need a lot of judges - roughly 300! In order to provide you with an idea of the time commitment, the schedule is linked HERE.

  We are looking for judges to review student projects and conduct interviews with the students to determine category and special award winners. There are 3 divisions based on grade level. The Elementary Division consists of 5th and 6th grade students, the Junior Division consists of students in grades 7 and 8, and the Senior Division consists of students in grades 9-12.

  You do not have to have a PhD in a STEM field to judge! We need judges with a variety of education, experience, and passions!

  We are looking for

  • Individuals with 2+ years of experience in a STEM or related field

  • Individuals with 2 years of college credit in a STEM field

  • Individuals who hold an associates, bachelors, masters, or doctorate degree

  **Individuals with advanced degrees and experience are needed to judge the senior division projects on Friday, March 31st.

  Depending on your interest and experience, Elementary & Junior Division judges can choose from 12 different categories to judge, while the senior division judges can choose from 21 categories.

  If you are interested in serving as a judge, please register HERE.

  If you have additional questions about judging, please do not hesitate to reach out to Beth Nickel at nickelb@azscience.org or Michael Lang at drmichaellang@gmail.com.

Arizona tax law allows individual taxpayers to claim a nonrefundable tax credit for making contributions or paying fees directly to a public school in AZ for support of eligible activities and programs.

At the junior high level, the school office is unable to reallocate / redirect funds without parent and district approval. Be sure to select the specific fee for the activity where you want your payment applied. Sports fees are assigned quarterly and club fees are assigned once established.

When paying fees online (band/ orchestra, club or athletics fees, etc.), please consider making an additional contribution to our general fund in December to reach the maximum credit allowable.

Once you have paid all outstanding fees for ACP Middle School or if you have a family member that resides in AZ, please consider making an additional tax credit contribution to ACP's general fund before December 31st. If you are able to make your tax contributions prior to the end of the calendar year, your donation would be greatly appreciated. It will help give us a jump start on some of our essential extracurricular activities. We have set a goal to collect approximately $50,000.00 this school year and hope that you will be willing to help us meet our goal. Thank you for supporting your child and ACP Middle School!

Tax Credit Basics…

A tax credit donation is a full refund, not a deduction. Contributions eligible for a tax credit are donated directly to schools, not to the state or school district. To participate or learn more, follow the link listed below to donate online or you can complete the enclosed form and submit your contribution at your convenience.

Arizona Law ARS 43-1089.01 enables taxpayers a tax credit contribution of up to $400.00 per year if filing status is “Married, filing Joint Return;” $200.00 per calendar year if filing status is “Single of Head of Household;” and $200 per calendar year if filing status is “Married filing separate returns.” These contributions fund extracurricular activities in public schools and greatly impact our school community and our students.
