Judging Rubric

Criteria	Definition/Range of Outcomes	SCALED SCORE 1 to 10 1=lowest 10=highest
1) Innovation of Solution: scale and novelty of the technology being used, and/or the architectural approach taken	•technology or design breaks new ground in the industry at large •project makes a profound break from established design (e.g., implemented in an entirely different programming language, uses an entirely different deployment or infrastructure model, a major new architectural direction) •project adds a major departure from established design •code adds new twist on established design •chosen technology, design, or solution is already deeply established	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2) People Impact: total impact of the idea and impact on targeted population	•the functionality provides significant benefit to the "end user" and it has a major positive impact	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
3) Quality of Presentation: team's ability to present solution	•the presentation clearly articulated the chosen problem and the designed solution was easy to understand.	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
4) Quality of Final Project: judges can clearly see that that the solution (e.g. prototype, code, etc.) functionality is behaving as expected	•the team presented a working prototype, mock-up, code, or other such solution that portrayed a realistic solution that could continue to be developed (2)•adds functionality beyond that provided by an existing solution	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
5) Teamwork/Collaboration: team's ability to work together and contribute to project (as evidenced in project brochure and presentation)	•presentation conveyed that: - all team members contributed to solution - each student had a voice in many project decisions - students shared ideas - students worked together to solve problems (3)-all team members--every skill set is represented in the product (4)-every student stated their part of the project and contribution	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
