There are no standard questions.
But you can help the judges make good and smart decisions.
Al and Ike gave you some great answers.
Figure out which awards your team wants to "compete" for and then help the judges by explaining why your team is competitive for these awards. Read the criteria. Got a fantastic thingamabob and want to win the thingamabob award? After the lead in questions from the judges ask if they want to hear all about the thingamabob. But don't "embellish" because there will be fact-checking. Why did you design the thingamabob this way? Did you try something else first? Talk about what makes your team
your team.
Have the students practice the same way they would practice for a college interview. These are the life skills that the students can learn as part of the team that are so important.
I will repeat a couple of things I put in the "Hints" paper on NEMO. These judges have a hard job to do and have to make a lot of decisions in a short amount of time. Help them make the right decisions. Help them understand why your team deserves to be in the running for the thingamabob award.
And don't forget to thank them!
Good luck!
