When can judges present an award to a team that uses adult-directed designs?

  1. After the event is over.

  2. Only in special circumstances.

  3. Never.

  4. When the design is original.

The correct answer is: Never.

Judges are unable to present an award to a team that uses adult-directed designs because such designs are considered a violation of the principles encouraging student creativity and independent work. The primary intent of competitions involving design is to assess and recognize the ingenuity and effort of students, showcasing their individual skills and ideas. Allowing awards for adult-directed designs undermines this educational goal and the integrity of the competition. The policy is in place to ensure that all participants are judged on their original concepts and implementations, fostering an environment that emphasizes personal development and learning. As such, awards cannot be granted in situations where the work does not authentically represent the students’ own achievements and efforts.
