Sample Rubrics for Judging

This gives you an idea of what the judges are looking for when it comes to 2 out of the 3 areas. (Core Values Rubric isn't include, but you can look over the Core Values links in section 2 to get an idea of what they are looking for)

This is a suggestion of what Judging should look like. The adult judges will help your team transition from section to section, but sometimes it helps the kids to know what to expect next, etc.

Learn about Archeology

kbrannon — 2025-07-29 02:02:10 UTC

Our theme this year will center around archeology, have students start researching or learning what that means!

Technology in Archeology

kbrannon — 2025-07-29 02:03:50 UTC

We think this year's challenge will have something to do with Technology + Archeology... have your kids start research what that will look like.
