2025 Southeast Startup Tech Showcase Judge w/DeKalb Co (In person-Atlanta, GA)
Join us as a Volunteer Judge or Timer!
Throughout the 2024-2025 academic year, students from Stephenson Middle School, The Champions School, and McNair Middle School have been working with their NFTE teacher to develop app-based businesses. The students have learned about entrepreneurship and coding and it's now time to showcase their final project.
NFTE students are asked to prepare a tri-fold board and a fast pitch showcasing their business idea to our local community members. During the expo, students are asked to share their problem and solution, and also showcase their creativity through their app development sample.
As an expert in your industry, students value the feedback they receive from industry experts in their local communities. As a volunteer judge, you will evaluate each expo booth based on the given rubric. Utilizing the entrepreneurial mindset as a guide, you will be asked to provide feedback to students based on their business idea and how they can make improvements to their problem, solution, target customer and more. Based on scores, the top student businesses will move on to our final round of the competition taking place at the end of this event.
Our volunteer timers play an important role during the evaluation period. Timers are assigned to a group of judges and will ensure student presenters and judges stay within the allotted presentation time frame at each expo booth. Once their judging group has visited all assigned businesses, the timer will escort the judges to their deliberation room and will provide time to the judges to decide on a winner. Timers will make sure the judges do not deliberate past their allotted time and will then provide the name of the winning business to the event host for announcement.
