During the final presentations, judges will evaluate each team using the following criteria:

  • Impact: Think of the youth you’re serving—what changes for them because of your solution?
  • Feasibility: Show a clear plan for how it can be built now, not just “someday.”
  • Innovation: Bring fresh thinking—could you adapt a proven solution from another field?
  • Scalability: Can it grow to help 10× more youth without 10× more cost?
  • Storytelling: Make judges feel the problem and believe in your solution’s future.
