Report Pre-Qualifying – Reports due electronically by 9:00 pm on March 10, 2023
Using the AET Application Center, students must use the “Complete/Print Your App” screen to generate the PDF with a version number for the teacher to select and submit to state evaluation (see the resource guide for more information or reach out to Whitney Short).

    • The Top 4 projects with a minimum score of 45 points from each category/division will be interviewed to determine final placings
