Assessment criteria
One of the first things to consider when you start your project is our assessment criteria – the different things that our judges will consider when scoring your project. The main advice from judges is for competitors to provide as much relevant information as possible. We understand that recent restrictions may impact students’ ability to fully complete their projects and judges will bear this in mind when judging projects. Familiarise yourself with the full criteria below on the Big Bang website.
