Judging Rubric
| Criteria | Definition/Range of Outcomes | SCALED SCORE 1 to 10 1=lowest 10=highest |
| Ambition of Problem: scale and complexity of the problem being explored | •solution provides a better/faster/clearer way to solve the problem than existing solutions •adds functionality beyond that provided by an existing solution •new project tackles a problem that has been overlooked or ignored in the past, or attacks a problem with a new angle, on a bigger scale, or on a higher level |
|
| 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 |
|
| 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 | |
| Quality of Presentation: team's ability to present solution | •the presentation clearly articulated the chosen problem and the designed solution was easy to understand. | |
| 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 | |
| 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 |
