Judging info
How will judging work?
All teams will create a 3-4 minute presentation slideshow and submit it with their project. These slideshows must demonstrate the working project. You can include a video demonstration of the project or have a demo that the judge can access in the form of a website or a mobile application. Working demos’ that the judge can access will give the judge a better idea of what your project is about.
After the slideshows are judged, the top 8 projects will be selected to present in front of the audience, as well as 1 wildcard project that will not present but will receive an award.
The top 8 projects will then be presented in front of the crowd and have a quick Q&A session. After this the judges will pick their top 3 projects then prizes will be awarded.
