It is a shame that the Expo is the same weekend as the National Science Bowl, a national competition for high school science students sponsored by the US Dept of Energy. I'm sure DOE would have considered being a sponsor of this event. As a long-time volunteer at the science bowl, I would have liked to volunteer for the expo but I thought it would be held in the Fall. Next time one of these is planned, please consider consulting with major science and engineering organizations to see whether there is a competing event.
Hi Linda,
Thanks for your message. The Science Bowl students will actually be attending our "Sneak Peek Friday" on the 27th. Here is a link with some more information: http://www.usasciencefestival.org/2012festival/schoolprograms/attend-sn…
