Judging Rubric

SCRSTF evaluates projects in three areas: Scientific Thought, Originality and Creativity, and Communication. The rubric identifies Scientific Thought as the most important part of the overall placing.

Judges assign a level from 1 to 4 to each area. They may also rank projects at each level as high, medium or low to compare projects of similar quality. The rubric describes three project types: experiments, innovations and studies.
