Be a Science Fair Volunteer! The Mount Washington Valley Regional Science & Technology Fair exists in part due to the generous time given by many volunteers. Besides judging exhibits, we need volunteers to greet participating youth and visitors, set up and break down exhibits and other important tasks throughout the day plus tasks that need to be completed in advance.
