Judging Rubric Now Available for Teams

Judging is a complex task and can seem mysterious to iGEMers at times. We're aiming to help teams understand how they are evaluated and provide more information ahead of time. While the individual decisions judges make about teams must remain confidential until after the Jamboree, the systems they use do not. 

Teams can view the judging rubric to get an idea of how they will be evaluated for Medals, Awards, and Special Prizes. Check it out:
