Creativity & Neatness

20%
Think of creative ways to create the model such as using themes or interesting materials.

Poor

This model shows little effort, or may look like a last minute effort.
Fair

This model shows less than average work effort and is similar to most others turned in. The model is somewhat messy, runny, or has a lot of structural damage.
Good

This model shows average work effort and looks similar to most others turned in. The cell model has some structural or other neatness problems.
Excellent

This model shows genuine hard work on the part of its maker, but doesn't stand out as being different than the norm. The model looks neat and clean.
Outstanding

This model shows genuine hard work on the part of its maker. It stands out as being a different type of idea than the norm. The model looks neat and clean.
