SMF RISING STAR JUDGING CRITERIA
The SMF‘s Mission is: “To find and assist those with neurodivergent minds to realise their potential through engineering and making”.
The foundation was born after the loss of Sanjay Mortimer – E3D’s Visionary. Sanjay was very open about his ADHD and the struggles it brought him. He found traditional teaching methods challenging and used making & engineering as an outlet, a place to escape. Sanjay thrived in this environment where his creative mind could be let loose to innovate, take risks, and make.
The judges will be looking for candidates who find enjoyment, creativity, and/or an outlet in 3D printing. They’d like to understand how each candidate discovered 3D printing and the extent of their passion for it. When they print, where they print, do they own a printer, do they use one at university, work or attend Makerspaces. What it would mean to the candidate if they were to win this mod0 printer from BrendonBuilds and if they have any exciting plans for what they would do with it.

The more information they can give us to show that supporting them, would be supporting the SMF Mission, the better. Best of luck!
