2007 CPCUG Science Fair Awards |
This spring CPCUG is recognizing young computer scientists from four area science and engineering fairs. Since 1996 the Capital PC User Group has honored deserving young computer scientists for their outstanding science fair projects. CPCUG President Dennis Courtney presents the awards including certificates, $25 check, and one-year CPCUG memberships for special achievement in exploring computer technology.

Judging is fun and satisfying. To quote one of our judges:
I'm glad that we don't have to pay CPCUG for the privilege of judging! The kids are always great and it is wonderful that CPCUG shows an interest in them.
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
