Eligibility
You must be a middle or high school student in the Issaquah School District. We will require you to show proof through your Student ID during check-in.
Project and Submission Requirements
Since TechnoHacks is a mini-hackathon, we don't expect you to code anything; all you need to do is think of an idea, design a prototype (no code needed—we'll show you how) and pitch it to judges at the end of the event (we'll also walk you through how to do this). Demos will be live, and code and write-ups should be submitted to DevPost before demoing begins.
Judging Criteria and Winner Selection
There are two tracks for the hackathon: best design, where we're only looking at your idea and how feasible it is to make it a reality, and best functionality, where we'll look for those who coded and demonstrate the most technical experitise through their app. Judges will score demos based on the ingenuity, design, implementation (only for functionality), and presentation skills (including the pitch and the project write-up you'll submit to DevPost).
Winners will be anounced at the end of the judging process, around 5:30 PM.
