This is the official entry form for the DTI Beast Battle.  Students may work alone or in partnerships.  You and your partner MUST have your entire project on your Agriscience Pathway Class in your Weebly Portfolio, prior to completing this entry form.  Judges will check for compete projects on both team members' portfolios, if BOTH partners do not have this published by 3:00, February 13th, they will receive incomplete for their grades, and be ineligible for the competition.  This competition is an artifact for this pathway.

All team members must have all components of a full project for a grade/prize consideration. This will include:

-A 2 minute video pitch for your invention (Posted on your weebly site/ following the provided template)
-A completed and edited copy of your Google Application pre-write(PDF)
-Business Logo and Company Name
-Invention that solves a problem in food production or distribution
-A PDF of your Sketch or OpenCAD Blueprints prototype designs*
-ROL for project on this year's Ag Science class tab.
**Bonus points will be issued for a Photo of your 3D Model or a Prototype of your project.  

For the Classroom Display students mush:

-Print your team's application one sided from Google, and attach to the poster board per design
-Print and attach at least the three required Sketches/OpenCAD blueprints of your prototype design*
**Bonus points will be issued for your model/ prototype displayed with poster board (hard copy and a photo)
 
140 total points available in Round 1
