  • Next Top Engineering Scientist 2015 Judges Report
    Next Top Engineering Scientist 2015 Judges report The seventh annual “Next Top Engineering Scientist competition” was held from 9am to 6pm on Saturday August 1st, 2015. The question posed was “If a New Zealand student uploads a video clip that goes viral, how long will it take before 1% of the world’s population has seen it?” Teams calculated answers that ranged from just a few minutes through to never. The quality of submissions was generally high, with many teams using innovative approaches to solving the problem, including an increasing number of teams making use of computer programming. As with previous years the competition problem was purposefully constructed to be open-ended in nature. To answer the problem required teams to make sensible assumptions around various aspects of the problem including (but not limited to): • The definition of a viral video • The characteristics of the video (e.g. language, length and genre) • The potential audience • The propagation channels (e.g. youtube, facebook, twitter, etc.) Participation Statistics We had 179 teams from 68 schools participate this year (from Dargaville and Whangarei up in the north down to Oamaru and Dunedin in the South). 146 teams had four members and 33 teams had three members. The break down by year level was as follows: Year 11 1 Mixed year 11/12 2 Mixed year 11/13 1 Year 12 70 Mixed year 12/13 29 Year 13 76 A total of 173 teams managed to get a report in by the 6pm deadline and we had many “Action shot” photos submitted during the course of the day.
