Evaluation Rubric

Real Evidence of the Process

We evaluate whether the portfolio shows authentic documentation of the research or development journey — not just the final product.

Chronological Development Log

We evaluate whether the team maintained a structured, chronological record of their development journey, decisions, and milestones.

Documented Validations or Tests

We evaluate whether the project includes experimental validations, user testing, or controlled tests proving that the solution works.

Technical Quality of Prototype (If Applicable)

We evaluate the technical soundness, functionality, and quality of the physical, digital, or conceptual prototype presented.

Portfolio Organization and Professionalism

We assess the structure, visual quality, and professionalism of the portfolio as a whole document.

Clarity in Oral Communication

We evaluate how clearly, confidently, and effectively the presenter communicates the project verbally to an evaluator panel.

Mastery of the Subject

We evaluate how deeply the presenter understands the theory, data, and technical components of their own project.

Ability to Answer Questions

We evaluate how the presenter handles evaluator questions — accuracy, composure, and intellectual honesty.

Visual Structure of the Presentation

We evaluate the visual quality, readability, and professional design of the presentation slides or visual materials.

Time Management

We evaluate how effectively the presenter manages the allotted presentation time — covering all key content without rushing or exceeding the limit.

Level of Innovation

We evaluate how novel and differentiated the solution is — whether it offers a genuinely new approach, combination, or application compared to existing solutions.

Relevance of the Problem Addressed

We assess how significant, real, and meaningful the problem is within a broader social, scientific, technological, or global context.

Technical Feasibility

We evaluate whether the proposed solution is realistic to implement given the current technology, resources, and timeline.

Scalability or Real-World Applicability

We evaluate whether the solution can grow beyond a pilot or classroom project — and whether it has genuine real-world applicability.

International Competitive Potential

We evaluate whether the project meets the standards and quality expected to compete at international science and innovation fairs.
