### 🤖 Human judging — not AI judging

People score the projects. AI does not score, rank, or select winners.
Each judge scores independently and must declare any conflict of interest before scoring. Anyone who has taught the child or directly helped with their entry cannot judge that entry.
🚀 HOW IT WORKS
This is one of the parts that sets the challenge apart.
Whether your child wins or not, every valid entry receives a private Expert Feedback Report from the judging panel.
The report includes:
📈 Scores across six judging dimensions
💬 Written comments from the judges
🔍 Evidence of what your child demonstrated through this project — based on their work, not a grade or label
👉 One concrete next step, including what they can improve
🔒 The report is private to your family. There are no public rankings and no child-to-child comparison.
👩‍💻 JUDGED BY 15 PROFESSIONALS & EDUCATORS
