Seeking Virtual Judges for Invention Competition

2025-03-01 - 2025-03-15 | Virtual Opportunity

The Illinois Student Invention Convention provides free invention curriculum and competition opportunities to K-8th grade educators and students across the state. Over the course of a ~10 week curriculum, students identify a problem they want to solve and create an original prototype that addresses this. Virtual Judges then review and score projects to help us select the year’s winning inventions. They meet with students whose projects they reviewed to ask follow-up questions, provide feedback, and to encourage them to take their invention to the next level. Eligible judges must have either STEM, innovation, entrepreneurial or education related experience and be over the age of 18. You will: Evaluate student inventions using current judging rubric Provide objective feedback for student inventions Engage student inventors with questions or comments about their inventions There are 2 different ways you can serve as a judge.
