DooleyHacks is the first technical hackathon at Emory University since 2017, representing the new generation of the CS Department and technical community as a whole. We strive to make a safe, inclusive community of tech-minded folks on campus and in the broader area, and we can't do it without you! Make sure to check out the rules of the event below, and follow along in the Slack channel for continuous updates throughout the event.

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?
