Project Criteria

The STEM MAD National Project Criteria have been created to support schools in understanding what the judges will be looking for when assessing the team video submissions. 

Judgess will consider elements such as: 

* Design process, including an iterative prototyping cycle

* Links to the curriculum across the STEM disciplines and capabilities  

* Innovative application of scientific and mathematical concepts 

* Engineering and communication principles  

* Catholic distinction of Making a Difference to others and the environment.

If you plan on evaluating the learning inherent in your student's projects, you can use these criteria as the basis for your own assessment rubrics

Projects should have a working model and/or digital prototype to be selected to participate in CNA STEM MAD National.
