These web pages provide information for students planning science fair projects, science teacher sponsors, parents or guardians and school administrators regarding the Arkansas Valley Regional Science, AVRSF. The AVRSF is a nonprofit and all volunteer operation. For additional information or inquiries not addressed on these web pages please contact the AVRSF Director, Wayne Beadles wayne.beadles@ojc.edu or Dr. Joel Gray (Chair of Math/Sciences Department at OJC 719-384-6892). All of the judges for the fair are all La Junta area professionals, OJC faculty, and a few K-12 area science teachers who are not sponsoring science fair participants. These individuals volunteer their time and expertise and are an essential component to the fair's success. The judges decisions are final and not open for discussion or disclosure. Also, keep in mind that science fair participants will not receive an award by default. Placement awards are earned based on the individuals project's merit.
School districts located in Crowley, Huerfano, Las Animas, and Otero counties are invited to participate at AVRSF.
More details relating to our affiliations with CSEF and ISEF can be found in the AVRSF web page. It is very important that you thoroughly read the information in the opening paragraph of the Starting a Project page.
