Which event is considered a pre-judge event at Tech Day?

The Transportation Modeling event is considered a pre-judge event at Tech Day because it typically involves the evaluation of participants' designs and presentations before actual hands-on activities or competitions take place. In pre-judge events, participants present their projects, allowing judges to assess their understanding, creativity, and application of engineering principles without the distractions of live competition. This format gives students the opportunity to showcase their planning and design process, which is crucial in fields such as engineering and technical design.

On the other hand, events like the Mousetrap Car Challenge, Robotic Challenge HS "Full Pull," and Mechanical Engineering - Perpetual Motion Machine often involve real-time judging based on performance during the competition itself rather than prior assessments. These events focus more on the execution and functionality of the projects at the time of the contest rather than preliminary evaluations, distinguishing them from the Transportation Modeling event.
