Choose any two competitions to showcase your skills.
How Scoring Works
- You will compete in **Duos (teams of 2)** for each of your two chosen events.
- Each duo's project will receive a single score from the judges.
- This score is then awarded to **both members** of the duo individually. For example, if your duo scores 90 points, you both get 90 points for that event.
- Your final, individual rank is determined by the **sum of your scores** from both competitions you participated in.
- The grand prize is awarded to the single student with the highest total score.
