About the challenge

TritonHacks is a fully student-run event at UCSD hosted by CS foreach that aims to provide access to CS education to disadvantaged local communities. We offer a welcoming, project-based environment for high school students to explore new interests in technology with teammates and a collection of resources such as starter kits, workshops, and individual mentorship programs. For anyone interested in competing, we are currently planning to hold TritonHacks in-person at UCSD from May 18th-19th, 2024.

Judging Criteria

  • Best Overall (3 teams)
    This is the holistic / all-rounder category and all the things we’re considering in our ranking.
  • Most Innovative (1 team)
    This focuses more on impact and how plausible this project is to actually change the world. this is a good opportunity to lean on your “engineer side”
  • Best UI/UX (1 team)
    Humans should be at the heart of each design, how usable is your design for a human? this is a good opportunity to lean on your “design/creative side”
  • Best Presentation (1 team)
    In the real world, having a solid pitch can sell even bad investments. for those who can’t build but can talk, this is a good opportunity to lean on your “business side”
