Description
As the Lead Judge Advisor for FTC, I’ll break down the awards available to teams, what happens during judging interviews, and what judges are really looking for. We’ll explore how to prepare for interviews, showcase your team’s accomplishments, and tell your story in a way that helps judges understand what makes your team stand out. Most importantly, we’ll talk about practical strategies teams can use to improve their chances of earning awards.
