About the challenge

The Welcome Back Mini Hack is tailored specifically for underclassmen and transfer students so that students can begin to understand the world of innovations and technology at Boston University. Students will dive into hands-on coding challenges, collaborate with peeps, and bring their fresh ideas to life. This MiniHack serves coders of all levels and promises a supportive environment to learn, innovate, and showcase their potential.

• Problem-Need Fit
  How clearly is the solution aligned with the broader problem statements (education, election turn-out, social justice–parents in need of support)? Does the Solution address the user need as presented by the students?
• Quality of Idea/ Potential Impact
  Does the project have the potential for deep or broad impact, i.e. the potential to solve an important problem for a narrow user base or does it have the potential to impact a large number of people?
• Technical Execution
  Did the team deliver a high-quality working product? If it’s a web-based app, is it running on a public server that a non-technical person can access? If it’s a mobile app, is it possible to download it from a mobile app store?
• Design
  The user experience is intuitive, i.e. it's clear how to achieve the tasks/goals that the solution is designed for and the user flow is obvious.
• Presentation
  Effectively communicate the idea, purpose, and impact of the project in a clear and engaging way. The team clearly states the problem they are trying to solve, and explains why it is important.
