The Ride Engineering Competition is seeking Judges, Speakers, and Partners to bring the best opportunity to students!
Volunteer JudgeThe Judge Commitment is online during the week of April 10-16, and all day online or in-person on April 17th. Each team will hand in their major deliverables including their Systems Engineering Report by April 9th. We aim to have at least 3 judges on each section of the report. A single judge can do multiple sections of the reports, they will judge those sections in all team's reports to balance any rules interpretation differences between judges. After December 4th we will formally organize all of the judges and create a more detailed list of responsibilities and guidelines. On April 17th, Teams will be streaming their Rides for 8 hours. During the first 4 hours judges will evaluate the ride's safety functions and implementation. During the second 4 hour half, teams will give 20 minute presentations to judges. After that period the judges will finalize the scores and announce the winners at the final ceremony. We are arranging for a monetary grand prize, and may ask the judges to create LinkedIn recommendations for the members of the winning team(s) identifying points of excellence that led to their success! We will provide a template for these recommendations. Benefits: See students’ work in full detail! If in-person, your organization will be given a table and area to post your own signage and promotion, so that students know where to find you. We will post your name, position, and organization on our official website and social media. We ask that you create a social media post about you and/or your organization’s involvement with the competition, with a link to the competition website. |
