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 provide a sound user experience? How well designed is the interface? How well thought-out is the human-computer interaction between software, hardware, and users? -
Completion
Does the hack work? Did the team achieve everything they wanted? Given the timeframe, a 5 would still lack some polish. -
Learning
Did the team stretch themselves? Did they try to learn something new? What kind of projects have they worked on before? If a team which always does virtual reality projects decides to switch up and try a mobile app instead, they should be rewarded. -
Addresses Challenge
For challenge specific submissions, projects will be judged on how well the project solves the given challenge. If the project does not solve a given challenge (including other), the project will be ranked on how well it does solve a problem.
