Eligibility

Any participants must be between 13-18 years old, and must be middle school or high school students. This hackathon fosters growth and learning, empowering middle and high school students to unleash their creativity and bring amazing ideas to life! 

Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

Technical Difficulty

- Is the hack technically interesting or difficult? Were there real technical challenges to surmount? This is the most important criterion that your hack will be judged upon for the general prizes.

Originality

- Is the hack more than just another generic social/mobile/local app? Does it do something entirely novel, or at least take a fresh approach to an old problem?

Functionality

- Is the hack a functional, working project, rather than just an idea?
