Points & Prizes System
Earn points as you work and play with ideas! Redeem the points for valuable prizes. Depending on the task, you can earn points on your own or by working with your teammates. All points on this page are awarded by the STEM Mentor and can be redeemed for exciting prizes after June 1.
NOTE: Scholarship Awards will be awarded to the Best Technical Innovation Plan and the Best Global Business Plan, for those of you who make it that far! Your final plan will be evaluated for quality by a panel of staff and expert judges using the TIP Rubric or BP Rubric, as appropriate, so be sure to check them out. The points you earn here will help your final scores for Scholarship Awards too! The more you do, the more points you earn, the more prizes you can redeem and the better your chances are of winning a Scholarship Award! Good Luck!
