Judging Information
OVERVIEW
Creating the Right Setting for Evaluations
We aim to host these events in professional office and business environments rather than traditional school settings. Each judging session will run for a total of three hours. Typically, there will be both a morning (AM) and an afternoon (PM) session available, allowing judges the flexibility to choose one or both timeslots.
THE FORMAT
Presentations and Feedback Sessions
Teams of students will present their solutions to a panel of industry judges, delivering a 15–20-minute presentation followed by a 10-minute session for questions and feedback from the judging panel.
WHAT’S INVOLVED
Your Role in Guiding Future Innovators

No expertise is required—just an open mind and enthusiasm. While subject knowledge is a bonus, the focus is on engaging with students and their ideas.

Judging isn’t about ‘grilling’ students but supporting their reflections and growth. Powering Futures offers online training to ensure you feel confident and ready to contribute.
