This is the inaugural Tech Haute Hackathon.  This hackathon is an open ended challenge.  Specifically we challenge each of the teams to look at the Terre Haute community, identify a problem or opportunity for improvement and create a solution.

Eligibility

Anyone 13 years of age or older can participate.

Requirements

Each team is permitted one submission that must be received by 10:00am on Sunday, April 19th, 2015. Code submitted for judging must be produced only by team members and written during Tech Haute Hackathon from the starting time on Friday, March 17th, 2015 to the submission time. If you are continuing a previous project or using old code written by you, let us know on the project submission form. Third party libraries are allowed without notice provided that they are publicly available to any participant. All code you create at Tech Haute Hackathon is owned by you, and may be made open source at your discretion. By submitting a project, you and your team grant the Tech Haute Hackathon team the unrestricted right to use your submission material, at no cost, for promotional purposes of future Tech Haute Hackathon events.

Judging Criteria

  • Originality
    Is the hack more than just another generic social app? Does it do something entirely novel, or at least take a fresh approach to an old problem?
  • Polish/Design
    Is the hack usable in its current state? Is the user experience smooth? Does everything appear to work? Is it well-designed?
  • Technical
    Is the hack technically interesting or difficult? Does it showcase technical talent? Is the depth of implementation within the 24 hour time limit impressive?
