Judging

Meet the Judges


An esteemed panel of scientists, teachers, and business professionals will be deciding upon the top three entries.


Criteria


Your projects will go through two rounds of judging before given a final score. The two judges that will be given your project will score you anonymously and according to a very strict rubric. Projects will be given up to 20 points for Written Clarity, 45 points for Originality, and 35 points for Impact/Effectiveness.


Grading will be completely unbiased. If there is any question as to whether a portion of your project was done by an adult or whether your project was plagiarized from previous years or from other science fairs then your entry will automatically be discarded and you will no longer be eligible to compete.
