  • Judges will come by your table and your team will have approximately 2-4 minutes to demonstrate the function of your project 
  • There will be 3 sets of judges that stop by your table to ensure your project is being looked at by a variety of people. Each time, you will have 2-4 minutes.
    • This means that your project will be seen about 3 times for fairness of judgement
