Judging Criteria
-
Technical Complexity
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 put thought into the user experience? How well designed is the interface? For a website, this might be about how beautiful the CSS or graphics are. For a hardware project, it might be more about how good the human-computer interaction is. -
Originality
Does the hack do something in a new way? Does it solve a problem in a novel way? This can be anything from adding new functionality to an idea to building something brand new, so have some fun and get creative with it! -
Demonstration
Does the hack work? Does it do what it should based on the idea proposed, or is it lacking functionality?
