What the Judges are Saying

The basic framework of this website is good: it's easy to navigate and follows a good basic template. But I think it needs a little more thought about who the audience is: sometimes it seems like you're talking to adults or parents and sometimes it seems like you are talking to other teens. For a more effective site, you should choose one audience and think how to target them.
Thanks for sharing your work and taking the time to create a project that directly impacts a bigger societal problem. I appreciate how you tried to take a holistic approach with your project and that you leveraged so many diverse sources during the research phase.

If you had more time, it might be worth narrowing in on one aspect of drug prevention, like focusing on one group (teens, the homeless, etc.), one drug (for example, avoiding fentanyl), or even one specific prevention tactic. This might help you create a more cohesive website design and make your call to action clearer.
I really appreciate the concept behind your idea of addressing drug abuse. It’s powerful that you’re aware of and concerned about the environments some people are growing in, and how the drug crisis is impacting all of us. For the future, consider focusing your presentation more clearly on a specific audience- whether it’s current drug users or today’s youth. Also, using fewer words can help make your message more impactful and engaging. Lastly, doing a bit more research and including more facts about the drug crisis could make your presentation even stronger and more persuasive. Keep up the great work-this is an important topic, and your voice matters!
