NOTE: This rubric will be used for all projects in both tracks.
| | Poor 1 | Below Average 2 | Satisfactory 3 | Above Average 4 | Excellent 5 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Creativity | The project uses methods that are recommended directly by ChatGPT or other AIs. | The project methodology is similar to what is recommended by AIs or other internet sources but has slight differences. | The project takes an approach that is commonly found in similar projects but takes a unique approach. | The project uses some unique methods or unexpected ways of looking at the data, but has some commonalities with similar projects. | The project employs unique methods or unexpected ways of looking at the data that are not easily replicable or commonly found. | | Complexity | The project solution can easily be replicated with a quick Google search. | The project solution has been done previously, but it demonstrates an effort to be done differently. | The project made an attempt to have multiple components but the solution was not fully fleshed out. | The project had multiple components using various data analysis methods and the solution was mostly fleshed out. | The project goes beyond standard methods, using sophisticated methods (e.g., machine learning, statistical modeling, or optimization algorithms) and possibly combines multiple methods to achieve more accurate or comprehensive results. | | Presentation | Presentation is very poor and no effort was spent on slide design. It is overall unclear what the project solution entails. | The presentation is not very clear, but it demonstrates an effort to pitch a solution and be cohesive. | The presentation and team’s solution is communicated effectively but slide design elements did not stand out. | The presentation is communicated effectively and some attention was paid to design elements. | The presentation was very well done and special attention was paid to slide design. The solution is very well communicated overall. | | Functionality | The project does not work as intended and/or is incomplete. | The project works as intended in a few areas. | The project was completed and solved the problem it posed. | The project was completed and solved the problem efficiently. | The project works flawlessly and has met high achieving goals. | | Impactfulness | This project does not achieve the goal of the track and/or does not relate to the problem statement. | There is an effort to create impact relating to the relevant track, but the project itself does not fulfill that purpose. | The project attempts to communicate solutions that create impact but is not fully scalable and/or replicable. | The project solution creates impact related to the track and is somewhat scalable and/or replicable. | The project has a clear impact on Human Rights issues relevant to their track and can clearly be scaled and used in the real world. |
