What kind of feedback do the teams receive after the competition that would aid them in understanding why they did not win and how they could improve?
It is very important to understand that we strongly believe that all the students who participate in the program are winners. As for advice on how to improve, we do provide each team with the following information: 1. An overall Evaluation Summary. Prepared by the panel of judges who evaluated the team’s written report and oral presentation. 2. Team Scores. A tabulation of each judge’s score for each Critical Category along with the overall Grand Total Score. 3. High Score Summary. A tabulation of High Scores and Average Scores for each Critical Category. A team may determine their ranking by comparing their Team Scores vs. the Average Scores.
