Aloha Teams,
This year’s Engineering Portfolio is due on Sunday, November 30th, at 4:00 PM HST.
Please note: Failure to meet the Engineering Portfolio requirements may result in the judges only seeing a portion of your portfolio
(i.e., the first 15 pages of your 50-page document, or the pages that can fit under the 15 MB required size).
The Engineering Portfolio Instructions are in the FTC Competition Manual, under Awards.
Teams are encouraged to review the Outreach Terms and Definitions Document to understand the requirements behind specific terms (starting a FIRST team, running an event, reaching x number of people).
Please submit the Portfolio as a PDF via THIS LINK:

Please note: The judges will not consider late submissions.
The FTC judging rubric is now LIVE to reflect this year’s Competition Manual, with notable changes in the Judging requirements. (PDF and Excel formats)
We strongly recommend all teams download and review the latest Hawaii Judge’s Rubric to better prepare your team for the upcoming judge interview.
Livestream will be available for all of this year’s FTC League Meets, League Tournament, and State Championship, whenever the internet is available!
