Closing Ceremony WILL Be Tonight
It might be late, but we can guarantee that the closing ceremony will happen tonight. Unfortunately, due to technical problems with YouTube, we will have to stream it on our Discord server. If you can't make it, it will be recorded and winners will be contacted. Thanks for your patience.

Closing Ceremony Postponed
We are very sorry for the delays. We received way more submissions than anticipated. We will have to change up the timing a bit. Many of the projects are absolutely outstanding and a lot of effort was put into them - so, in order to give them a proper judging, we think it would be best to extend the judging period to tomorrow rather than having our judges rush through the submissions in a short period of time. As such, the closing ceremony will be tomorrow evening rather than tonight.
Again, we are extremely sorry for the change of plans.…

Important Reminders
Make sure to thoroughly review the submission requirements and rules on Devpost before submitting.
The video you submit should be 1-3 minutes long. Making it shorter or longer could affect how your project is ranked.
In case you weren't already aware, you can submit your project to multiple optional categories if they are applicable.
All projects will be evaluated for Best Hack For Education, Public Choice, Most Launchable Hack.
Keep in mind that our general theme is education. Regardless of what categories you are aiming for, explaining how your hack relates to education will be helpful for you.

Developing on School Devices
Personal laptops are preferred because they have fewer software restrictions, but if you must use a school device, read the following:
High School students in Edison should install an IDE (code editor), like Visual Studio Code, from Self Service on their MacBooks. It might be difficult to install them directly from their websites due to device restrictions.
Students using Chromebooks should familiarize themselves with https://replit.com, which is an in-browser IDE and code execution environment.
