Judging Criteria and Winner Selection
A panel of three judges will be selected to judge the projects. They will be adult volunteers. Using the following criteria, they will judge the hackathon. For each project, the score will be added for each judge, averaged across all judges, and multiplied by 5.55555556 exactly to get a score out of 100. The highest score a participant may receive is 18/18. If judges feel it necessary, half points may be rewarded. The following criteria will be used.
