Judging Criteria
-
Creativity
Does the project go beyond the specs of a typical hackathon project? Unlike technical challenge award, creativity award incentivizes imagination in forms beyond technical (eg. artistic, etc.) -
Impact
Does the project have a high potential for impact? (think environmental, world problems, helping others, etc.) -
Stability
Is the project stable and thorough? (no bugs, good functionality, WORKS GREAT) -
Technical Challenge
Did the team stretch themselves and try to learn something new? Did they use many helpful resources? What kind of projects have they worked on before? If a team decides to switch up and try doing something new, that exploration should be rewarded.
