Creativity

Program is completely original, does not exist in the real world. Idea is well thought out, intricate, and flows well. Is accurately and realistically reflected in the program

Program is original, organized, and realistically reflected. Ideas are complex and well thought out, but lack detail, planning, and overall flow

Similar versions of program already exist. Idea has some detail, but is not complex. Ideas flow together, but are not realistically reflected in the code

Program idea already exists, is slightly complex, and has minimal detail

Program idea already exists. Idea is lacking in complexity, detail, and is not realistic

Impact

Program could realistically be put out into the real world and would have beneficial impacts on society

Program could possibly be put out into the real world and would have beneficial impacts on society

Program is unlikely to be put out into the real world, but would have beneficial impacts on society

Program would have a neutral impact on society, regardless of the possibility of it being carried out into the real world

Program would have a detrimental effect on society, regardless of the possibility of it being carried out into the real world

Coding component

*How well does the code run?

Satisfies all coding requirements, program runs successfully

Attempts to satisfy all coding requirements, program has errors

Attempts to satisfy most coding requirements, program has errors

Attempts to satisfy a few coding requirements, program has errors

Does not attempts to satisfy any coding requirements

Coding complexity

*Regardless of output, do the methods do anything worthwhile?

Code is complex, well written, and implements important aspects of the idea

Code is moderately complex and well written, and implements important aspects of the idea

Code implements important aspects of the idea but lacks complexity and not well written

Code implements rudimentary aspects of the idea

Code does not relate to the idea

Presentation

(time limit: 5-10 minutes)

Organized and aesthetic presentation explaining idea + code, fluent speech, within time limit

Organized but visually unappealing presentation explaining idea + code, OR minor issues with speech, OR minorly outside time limit

Unorganized and visually unappealing presentation explaining idea + code, OR significant issues with speech, OR significantly outside time limit

Presentation does not fully explain idea + code, OR extreme problems with speech, OR unacceptably outside time limit

Presentation does not explain idea + code, regardless of speech fluency and time taken

Time

Activity

11 am - 11:30 am

Introduction (icebreakers, games)

11:30 am - 12:00 pm

Everyone brainstorms ideas in the main session

1:30 pm - 2 pm

Discuss idea in breakout rooms, “request help (zoom feature)” for judge approval for each group’s idea

2 pm - 4:45 pm

Code project in breakout rooms*

• Can “request help (zoom feature” from judges if needed

• Suggested time: 2 hours
