The
Judging Process
Information on the SurveyMonkey
process can be found in this document.
Please review it
before starting.
You
may judge the exhibits in any order at any
time. If you cannot complete the
judging of an exhibit you may come
back to it at a later time and continue.
For
each student you will have access to
their entire paper (which you will have
the option to download) and a link to a
YouTube video created by the student. The
YouTube video will be of the student
presenting their project with a PowerPoint
presentation (replacing the students
having a board) which you will be able to
pause and watch as many times as you want.
Due to the safety protocols put into place
by CPS, there unfortunately will be no
direct interactions with students and
judges (no Q&A by email or video
chat).
Each
project should be evaluated on the basis
of areas of competence which are listed in
the "Sample Judging Rubrics" below.
The maximum score possible is 100
points.
After
completing your judging for each exhibit,
enter your score(s) and comments in
the Survey Monkey form provided.

(See below for Sample Rubrics)
The
responsibility of judging is one of the
most important functions of the STEM
Exhibition. Please keep
in mind that only a small percentage of
the students actually go into scientific
research. However, many of them will have
a great deal to say about the future of
science. Certainly a successful and
valuable experience with science at this
level could reap considerable rewards.
The
purpose of the Chicago Public Schools
Student STEM
Exhibition is to
encourage students to excel in science. It
also provides the students with an
opportunity to present the results of
their projects to a panel of judges. This
section of the STEM
Exhibition stresses not
only the importance of written and oral
forms of communication, but also the
importance of the exhibit. The STEM
Exhibition provides
encouragement and recognition for those
students who may become scientists in the
future.
The
high point for most students who
participate in the STEM Exhibition is the
opportunity to exhibit their
accomplishments before interested adults
who are distinguished critics. Feel free
to advise the students of any improvements
that can be made on their projects. They
deeply appreciate your constructive
comments.
If
you cannot connect with an exhibit,
please notify us at cjkessinger@cps.edu.
