Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

Creativity

The projects are mainly judged based off the creativity of the demonstration, and the uniqueness of the idea.

Relevance to theme

The theme of "help individuals make better financial decisions" or "help create economic sustainabiltiy for individuals, or business as a whole" needs to be adhered. The more relevant the idea is to the theme, the more of a chance of doing well in this category.

Effort

The amount of effort each team put in for the "hack" is also rated. The relative difficulty, based on the participants knowledge in STEM, and the amount of work put into the demonstration is considered for this category.

Feasibility

The judges will use their knowledge of STEM to determine whehter or not the idea is acheievable in the real world. They will consider whether or not it is something that can be created, and function as proposed.
