HackVCIS is an International student-run hackathon, an event in which students come together to work on innovative software or hardware projects in under 36 hours. Our goal is to support and inspire upcoming youth programmers and shine a light on young talents. These young people will collaborate to turn their passion into a reality, whether that would be financial, health, or environmental software - with a chance to win prizes money that can help support them in their future endeavors.

• Impacts/Practicality
  Is the hack practical? Does it really solve a certain paint point that the end-user may have, and how much Impact does it create on the end-user?
• Creativity
  Is the project creative or innovative? Does it do something entirely novel? Keep in mind that not all hacks have to be original, but could be something that is built or improved upon a work that already exists.
• Technical Difficulty
  Did the hacker approach a problem using interesting or difficult technologies or were there technical challenges to overcome. Is the tech stack interesting?
• Design / User Experience
  Is the project easy to use and access? Does it require any learning curve? For Software, is there any glitching? For hardware, will it be easy for people/end-user to use the prototype?
• Presentation
  Is the information well informed, smooth, concise?
