Hackers, we will start our initial round of judging at 1:30pm.
We will call out your teams name and will announce which room you will be presenting at. The rooms are in the back of the venue along the wall. You will have 3 minute to present with optional 2 minutes for questions.
The criteria you will be evaluated on are:
Impact Potential/ Utility - Does the project address a significant real-world issue or pain point? Technical Demo - How is the demo? Is the project implemented technically well? Is it well-engineered and working? Creativity - How creative is the project? Have you seen this before? Presentation & Pitch - How well was the project presented and demonstrated? Self - improving - ness - Does the project meaningfully show self improvement? was the growth meaningful and measured in any way?
Second round in front of live audience - we’ll gather everyone, and will announce the 8 finalists one by one. You must be present to be able to present otherwise we’ll go to the next project on the list.
Prizes Ceremony - We will announce sponsor prizes first and then we will announce the three winners for the grand prizes!
