Workshops

Over the course of the Hackathon, participants will also have the opportunity to attend educational and entertaining workshops.

 

There will be 8 workshops, each of which is based on a computer science related theme and is facilitated by a professional in the relevant industry.

Judging

Participants will be judged based on our rubric, which assesses submissions based on the strength of user interface, functionality, and overall impression. Additional factors such as the use of Machine Learning may be evaluated to qualify for special prizes.

 

Judges will be adults who have expertise in a computer science field and will be provided by the sponsor of the event.
