Our guest judges–professional, academic and otherwise–are a key component to our student growth and learning objectives. Judges who impart their experience, expertise and wisdom onto our students help them shape their mindsets, career trajectories and their confidence. Observing these transformations in how they view themselves as professionals are some of the many ways education provides gifts to educators.

We invite you–as guest judges to Hands-on Rapid Prototyping–to not only experience these moments but more importantly, to help shape the leaders of tomorrow.

Below you’ll find all the essential information you need to know about how to Judge Hands-on Rapid Prototyping students on “DemoDay”.
