Table/Notebook Display
Apprentice Level AND Professional Level
Each Apprentice and Professional level team will be provided a table for a display and a notebook of drawings, pictures, charts, graphs, etc., that document the process their team took to prepare for the Challenge. Judges will score the Table Display/Notebooks between 10:00am - 2:00pm Challenge day. The judging panel will consist of WSU College of Education faculty and other professional educators.
All Table Displays will be limited to the surface area of the provided 6' X 3' table. Additional items under the table or around the table will not be considered in the judging. No electricity will be provided. Teams may provide their own battery or other power source if it fits under their table. NO cords may be placed across the floor to the Table Displays.
TIP: If a computer presentation is part of your display, consider putting the presentation on two or more computers, swapping the computer in the display area as needed to re-charge in the work area where electricity is provided.
Notebook materials should be organized in a notebook, three ring binder, or a file folder.
The Table Display should be set up by team members only. Coaches and parents may help team members carry items into the gymnasium, but all set up should be done by team members only.
Table Display/Notebook Award (1
Award): One award for the team earning the highest
number of points for the Table Display/Notebook Challenge.
Apprentice Level Note:

Creativity - the display and notebook are
eye-catching and pleasing to look at. They contain unique and imaginative
ways to communicate content and the process that prepared the team for the
Challenge. Variety - Both
the display and notebook utilize several methods to effectively
communicate information (e.g., diagrams, drawings, photos, tables, charts,
graphs, written information, models, exhibits,
etc).
Organization - the
information is logically presented in a well-ordered manner with obvious
organization around specific topics (e.g., organized
chronologically, by challenge or task, by learning topic, etc.).
Items are clearly labeled or captioned.
Accuracy - content
is judged to be accurate and relevant. Sources are well documented and
credited when necessary. The team name and school are easily and clearly
identified.
Knowledge - the
display and notebook document the team's preparation for the challenge
with special emphasis on concepts and lessons learned (e.g., problem
solving strategies, team building exercises and/or strategies,
“discoveries” along the way, etc.)
