Judging Criteria

  • Technology:
    How technically impressive was the hack? Was the technical problem the team tackled difficult? Did it use a particularly clever technique or did it use many different components? Did the technology involved make you go "Wow"?
  • Design:
    Did the team put thought into the user experience? How well designed is the interface? For a website, this might be about how beautiful the CSS or graphics are. Is it easy to use or does it use a cool interface?
  • Originality:
    Inspire innovation in the next generation of students. Does it do something entirely novel, or at least take a fresh approach to an old problem? This category will be based solely on the idea behind your project, regardless of functionality.
  • Impact/Usefulness:
    We look for hacks that have large social impact. Is the hack impactful? Does it fulfill a real need people have? This category will be based on the idea behind your project and its planned functionality (not necessarily fully working).
  • Feasibility/Practicality
    We look for new and original ideas, we want hackers to think outside the box, but we also value practicality. Is this project feasible and practical in the next 3-5 years? This category will be based on both the idea & functionality behind your project.
