Project Evaluation
Projects are evaluated based on a wide variety of criteria and can vary based on the type of solution that is being presented, such as hardware or software. Overall, the criteria are as follows: Design, Technical Sophistication, Novelty, Impact, and Business & Market Viability. Each criteria will be scored on a scale of 1 (Poor) to 10 (Excellent) and will be used to evaluate all project submissions.
