Importance: High Colleagues, Please share the information below with Professors and Research staff in your unit. We have an increase in projects- (50 science fair projects)- coming for our Regional Science Fair on Thursday here at our East Campus Union, and we are in need of more Professor/Research Staff judges. Last year's fair resulted in some new students to our departments/units and several mentor opportunities. There is some confusion that this is the same science fair as the STATE one on April 24th (they have plenty of judges so thank you to everyone for supporting that event). That Science Fair is also on East Campus. The Regional is the qualifying science fair for the state fair in April. Questions please let me know. Thanks, Tammy Colleagues, We hope your spring semester is off to a great start. We will be hosting the Southeast Regional Science Fair at the East Campus Union on March 27th from 8-12:30. We are looking for individuals who can attend the whole time and would like to judge middle school and high school science fair projects. If you are interested, please sign up at the link below. We would also like to encourage our colleagues outside of CASNR to participate so if you have a colleague in a different college who would be interested in judging, please share this information.

Greater Nebraska Science and Engineering Fair
by Andreia Bianchini Huebner 17 Mar '25

17 Mar '25

Hello Everyone I am reaching out to faculty, post docs, staff and graduate students that may want to volunteer to help with an outreach activity. Our department has been invited to help judge student's entry at the upcoming Greater Nebraska Science and Engineering Fair. This event will take place on Saturday, March 29, 2025 at the Nebraska City High School in Nebraska City from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Judges will be asked to review and score a variety of student projects across multiple disciplines. Additionally, Dr. Martini has offered a scholarship to all the students that have an entry related to Food Science. We have been informed that there are a few entries listed as Food Science. So it would be essential to have someone from our department judging the fair to help assess those entries and their eligibility to the scholarship that we are offering. A short/simple rubric would be provided to help with the assessment. If you're available to lend your time and knowledge, we would be grateful for your participation. There will be complimentary breakfast and lunch for all judges participating. Mileage reimbursement would also be provided. Please let us know by March 21, 2025 if you could help, and feel free to reach out with any questions. Best regards, Andreia [cid:image001.png@01DB9775.91E344C0] Andreia Bianchini Associate Professor University of Nebraska-Lincoln Food Science & Technology 1901 N 21st St. 248 Food Innovation Center Lincoln, NE 68588

The speculative robotics lab is dedicated to imagining and prototyping new ways care might unfold—particularly in hospital settings—through speculative design and futuring. NIC Partners and the Lincoln community are invited to playtest and co-create future care scenarios where robotics and design intersect with human experience. Participants will engage through ideation, drawing, writing and methods from theater, movement and live-action role-play, transforming physical space into narrative stages for imagination. Each session is 30 minutes. Anyone is welcome to stop by, engage with the speculative and contribute to shaping the future of care.
