Annual St Francis University Science Day Reflection

For my participation in the annual Saint Francis University Science Day, I was a moderator for the “Science Bowl” competition. From the beginning of the day (8:30 am), I helped set up the competition areas, met with the judge, timekeeper, and the scorekeeper in order to establish the proper positions that we all needed in order to make the Science Bowl competition rounds run quickly at our station.

It is not just enough to have great resources, but rather, great people who can work with these great resources is needed to make an event as memorable and touching to high school students as the annual Science Day event here at Saint Francis
