Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

• Impact Potential (25 pts): Does this solve a real problem? Who benefits and how? Could it scale?

• Technical Execution (30 pts): Does it work? Is it well-built? Effective use of AI?

• Ethical Alignment (25 pts): Centers human dignity? Addresses potential harms? Expands access equitably?

• Presentation (20 pts): Can you clearly explain what you built and why it matters?

Critical questions every team must answer

• Who are you building this for and why do they need it?

• What could go wrong and what would you do about it?
