What to Build

HackHERS projects should focus on creativity, learning, and collaboration rather than full functionality. Participants are encouraged to explore meaningful ideas that empower women through one of our three tracks — HealthHer, TechHer, or WorkHer.

Your submission should reflect your team’s original idea, creativity, feasibility, and potential impact. Whether it’s a prototype, concept, or working product, we value innovation, clarity, and problem-solving above perfection.

Judging will be based on:

• Part 1 – Innovation & Originality: Idea quality, creativity, feasibility, and impact.

• Part 2 – Presentation & Technical Implementation: Clarity, design, usability, and technical skill.

• Bonus Demo (+10 pts): Optional prototype or live demo showcasing your project in action.

Projects will be scored out of 100 points + 10 bonus points, emphasizing concept clarity, originality, and growth through experimentation.

What to Submit

All submissions must be made through Devpost and include the following:

1. Project Description – A concise overview explaining your project’s purpose, target audience, and how it supports or empowers women.

2. Demo / Presentation – A short video or presentation showcasing your project’s features, design, and overall impact.

3. Source Code – A link to your code repository (e.g., GitHub). Ensure it’s accessible and well-documented.
