Secret Judge
On Saturday, I volunteered to be a secret judge for Austin Science Fun Day. There are 13 booths hosted by kids from local schools, aged from kindergarten to middle school. My task is to talk with them, know what they demonstrate, and give scores in different catagories. Judging criteria include how they understand their stuffs, whether the presentation is intriguing, how active the kids are to the visitors, and so on. I visited each booth without showing my identity and tried to get enough information by chatting. The full score is 50. The high that I gave was 46 and the low 36. One booth is from some kindergarten kids. They are really cute. They show information about the metamorphosis from egg to butterfly. They use rice as egg, spaghetti, macaroni and some other pasta that I've never heard of to represent different butterfly life stages.
After my volunteer, I shopped some clothes on my way home. Foley's, a department store was on a clearence sale this weekend. I got one Tee, one shirt, and one short, all from Tommy Hilfiger, for 9 bucks. The original total price is listed as $144. A pretty good deal.
