Judge Responsibilities:
As a judge, you will be asking students questions like those below. You are expected to remember that you are speaking to a child/young adult, and ask questions that are relevant to the topic at hand. You will be given a rubric as a guideline, and the students will have access to the same rubric. Projects will be judged based on the category they are in, no matter what the project is. All decisions of the judges are final and not subject to debate or discussion.
Students should be able to do the following during their judging time:
* Use the program or application to demonstrate their project
* Demonstrate an understanding of the program or application as it applies to their project
* Explain the various aspects of the creation of their project
* Defend their choices made in the creation of their project
* Give all applicable copyright, creative commons, and fair use information for any and all work not created by the student
At the time of the judging, students will be required to:
Use the program or applications software to demonstrate their projects.
Demonstrate an understanding of the software as it relates to the project.
Explain the various aspects of the creation of the project.
Defend their choice of software for the project.
Provide the Project Documentation form, properly filled out, to the judge.
Answer judges' questions about the project.
Students should be prepared to explain and demonstrate the highlights of their project in no more than 15 minutes.
Projects are evaluated by the judges to determine the best project in that category. The judges use several instruments for making their evaluation. Judges will provide each student with a feedback form listing strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions of each project. Actual scoring materials will NOT be released.
