Hello all,

a copy of the evaluation rubric for the A4SICC 2020 competition has been posted on the A4SICC website under the Resources tab (https://a4sicc.com/resources). This rubric will be used to evaluate all applications as well as the presentations for the teams that make it to the finals. The rubric contains a brief description of what the judges will be asked to consider for each of the 8 criteria that were outlined during the information session along with the weighting of these criteria. In combination with the previously provided material, we hope that this will help you put together a strong application. Best of luck to all teams!
