2000 CPCUG Science Fair Awards |
At the May, 2000, General Meeting CPCUG recognized another excellent group of young computer scientists. Since 1996 the Capital PC User Group has honored deserving young computer scientists for their outstanding science fair projects. CPCUG President Scott Mohnkern presented the awards including present plaques, $50 savings bonds, and one-year CPCUG memberships for special achievement in exploring computer technology.
As before, we saw the project displays prepared by these young scientists; CPCUG members were impressed by the intelligence and enthusiasm of these young people. They have much to teach us about their explorations in Computer Science. We have also invited these young scientists to send us electronic copies of their papers for inclusion on the CPCUG Web Server and synopses in the Monitor.

Several volunteer CPCUG judges worked hard to select these projects, covering two fairs this year. CPCUG members Walt Houser and Mason Wallace evaluated the Montgomery Fair exhibits. George Herbert judged in Loudoun County. Our thanks go to the judges plus invaluable support from the CPCUG Board.
It's challenging to understanding and assess the projects and rewarding
to see these young people doing such good work. This program is an excellent
way to bring new and energetic members into CPCUG. Moreover, the awards provides
CPCUG with positive visibility with the scientifically literate families
of the Washington DC area. If you would like to see your jurisdiction included
in next year’s effort, please contact Walt Houser CPCUG
Coordinator.
