Judging
As students ourselves, we understand the stress of submitting a complete project by the hackathon submission deadline. Therefore, we will be prioritizing a learning environment, where we will be rewarding the pursuit of knowledge, risk taking, and code integrity over a clean product. In other words, we will be looking for the first iteration of your idea. We encourage you to focus on the fundamentals of your idea and to use this as an opportunity to play with new technologies and get to know your fellow C8 members. Explore the interesting ways your ideas and technologies can interact!
