Requirements
There are three components of the submission process.
1. Devpost
2. Gitlab or GitHub or Bitbucket Repo
3. Video Link
DEVPOST
All teams should have a team name, and be registered with Devpost.com
The Devpost team page listing should have the following:
- All student members on your team (all students must have been validated prior to submission) Please validate your student status if you have not already done so https://www.jotform.com/form/211306803999159.
- Names and registered email addresses of all team members must match their student validation forms.
- Development tools used to build the project.
- Gitlab / Github / BitBucket Project Name
- SDKs used in the project.
- APIs used in the project.
- Any assets used in the project.
- Any libraries used in the project.
- Any components not created during the Hackathon.
Here is a good format to follow:
Name Of App
An application using xxxx to do XYZ based on........
Inspiration
We want to increase the efficiency of shipping logistics in an effort to save businesses and customers time, money and resources.
What it does
Given an image of a shipping label, it performs OCR and creates a 'return-to-sender' shipping label with the appropriate fields populated.
How we built it
Written in python with Tesseract OCR open source library.
Challenges we ran into
Displaying the appropriate image, character recognition detecting all text fields on the image.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Proud of our determination and commitment!
What we learned
The importance of planning, testing, and execution throughout the entire project process.
What's next for (App Name)
Hosting it on the web or exposing the algorithm to a mobile application (through phone cameras) and such.
Built with
GITLAB/GITHUB/BITBUCKET
1. Upload code to repository
2. README.md.
- Ensure your repository has a README.md file
- Include specific instructions on how to deploy your app and test to ensure it works flawlessly
- We highly recommend using Docker to deploy your app. Although you can deploy on any environment to test and ensure it works.
3. Make Your Repo Public
- This ensures the judges can actually view your work and deploy the app for testing
VIDEO LINK
- Should be a DEMO walkthrough of your prototype and no longer than 5 minutes.
- Submissions on devpost will automatically require the video link.
All projects should be submitted to the Hackathon's Devpost Page/account before judging begins on Sunday December 12th at 12:00PM EST. Failure to submit will result in disqualification.
All projects submitted will be subject to a code-review. When the hackathon ends at least one member from each team will meet with the code review team for a brief review of their submission and to confirm that the team’s Devpost page has been correctly updated. Applications will be spot checked by code reviewers. All the projects selected by the judges as finalists will be code reviewed to confirm that the code is original work created during the event.
- Submissions that do not meet the following criteria are subject to disqualification and/or removal.
- Submission must be:
- 1) original work of the Participant;
- 2) must not have been previously published;
