“How-to” Virtual Judging

In addition, we have put the following FAQ together:

• The invitations to your judging slots will be send latest next week Tuesday to the event captains, please forward to the required team members.
• Please use headsets if you are in the same room (better: try to be in separate rooms).
• Please have a minimum of 2 members with mobile phone/camera connected to the design/ cost judging main room to show vehicle details to the judges if requested.
• Judges may request a sketch or chart during the judging process.
• Please prepare either a digital solution (e.g., tablet + electronic pencil for Zoom-integrated whiteboard app) or simply use pen/ paper.
• Break-out-rooms for Engineering Design:
• Students and judges may move themselves between the breakout rooms as necessary, and also back to the main room.
• Please note: Depending on your judging group, one judge may be covering more than one area of expertise.
• Additionally, some teams may have students covering more than one area of expertise. Please clarify with your judging group before moving to the respective breakout room.
