Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

We will be judging students’ projects against 3 areas; idea, user experience, and execution. 

 

1. Idea - Originality: Has this or something similar been done before? 

  • Scope: How ambitious is the scope of the project? Have the team thought of where they would take it if they had more time? 

2. Address the Challenge  
Does the project address the Challenge, and present a clear and relevant solution? 

3. Business Value  
What business value does your project provide? 

4. Execution 

  • Focus: Did the team do a good job of keeping on task, or was their execution scattershot? 

  • Complexity: How complex was the solution? What technologies were used? 

  • Completion: Does it work or is it a mock-up? We're looking for a prototype, not necessarily something ready to go out to market. 

5. Make Something  
Does the project make or create something tangible that can be shown or demonstrated, going beyond an idea?
