Project Destined a Scam?

Follow this one kid on LinkedIn and over the past couple of days I’ve noticed that multiple teams have received a 1st place award in whatever competition they are in. Seems a little fishy and fluffy. Anyone have any insight? Was considering this as a backup option for a Fall Internship, so I’d like to know how it’s perceived.

 

Their competitions are structured so that there are typically only 3-4 teams competing against each other, hence the frequency of "1st place" posts. Like the comment above, there is no point worrying about the awards -- the point of the program is to network with all their partner firms.
