What to Build

Anything! We will announce the theme to help guide you as the event nears but be sure to check out the judging criteria to see what we are looking for during the judging process.

What to Submit

You are required to submit your project on DevPost along with a short description about your project and the code (through a platform like Github preferably, but a zip file is fine if necessary). Including pictures is recommended to help show what your project does!

Judging will be done with live presentations in front of both attendees and judges. We will announce the results shortly afterwards.
