Competition FAQ

How many projects may a student enter?

A student may register for ONE project in the CWES Technology Competition. A student may enter as an individual or as a member of a team, but NOT BOTH. A student who participates in Programming Challenge this year can also register another project with FCSTC (same rule as GaSTC).

How many students may be on a team?

A team can only consist of two students (same rule as GaSTC).

What if team members are in different age groupings?

If the grade levels of team members fall in two different age groupings, the team must compete in the age grouping of the older student (same rule as GaSTC).

What grade levels are judged together?

Our grade groupings are based on the grade groupings at the state competition. Grade groupings are 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12. (FYI: If teammates are in different grades the higher grade will the chosen grade grouping that the team will compete in).

Is the team competition separate, or are they judged together with individual entries?

As is done at the state level in categories where teams are permitted, teams and individuals compete against each other.

Is the Project Submission and Copyright Verification information required this year?

Yes, every participant (individual or team) must have a complete slide of the Project Submission & Copyright Verification page at the interview on the day of the competition. (VERY IMPORTANT)

No project can be judged without this validation.
