The Jacksonville Science Festival (JSF) is an annual event that The Foundation Academy participates in to encourage a love of learning in the STEAM subjects: science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Students are expected to devise an open-ended essential question, conduct research, make connections with experts in the community, and have an interactive component at the festival to foster community engagement.
In preparation for this, The Foundation Academy is currently seeking volunteers from our diverse community to sit on panels for our students. We need 5 people for a panel each day. You would commit only for the day(s) that you are able to come in.
High School Exhibition takes place March 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 from 9:00-12:30 pm.
Junior High School Exhibition takes place February 25, 26, 27, and 28 from 9:30-12:30 pm.
Elementary School Exhibition takes place March 11, 12, and 13 from 9:30 am-10:30 pm.
Middle School Boys Exhibition takes place March 11, 12, and 13 from 10:30-12:30.
Middle School Girls Exhibition takes place March 11 from 1:00-3:00 pm.
Students are presenting their JSF research and exhibition ideas for our annual event scheduled in April. As a panelist, you would be given a rubric ahead of time and asked to provide feedback after each presentation, as well as any professional expertise you may have. There are no requirements for participating on a panel, we just ask that you share any knowledge or experience you have with any of the topics with the students.
