become a Judge
Each event, whether regional, national, or global, has a judging panel made up of industry professionals.
These judges assess each team across five key categories according to a scorecard, before providing feedback on what they did well, and where they could possibly do better. The top team from each category wins an award, and the very best team, who achieves the highest score across the board, receives the opportunity to progress to the next level of the competition.

STEM Racing encompasses an incredible array of skills, so, whether you’re an engineer or a marketeer, there is a category for which your experience will be perfectly suited. The five categories are:
