Sky View '96 - Judging Criteria


This year's judging of the Sky View competiton will be focused in three areas: engineering/design, application, and presentation. These are some of the questions that this year's judges will be looking for in your project design. This is by no means a complete list, but it should help give some insight to what types of things they will be looking for.
This year's judges will be comprised of members from the Texas Space Grant Consortium, Texas Aerospace Commission, Center for Space Research, Austin Communitiy College, and local industry. In addition to the scheduled judges, you the teacher will be involved in judging the oral presentations.
