Evaluation Process

1. Initial Review: After 6 hours into the hackathon, a team of judges will conduct a preliminary review of all participating teams. Teams will have to present their ideas, explain their problem statement, and present their progress till that point. Based on this review, a select number of teams will be chosen to move forward to the next stage.

2. Mid-way Review: After another 6 hours, the chosen teams will have to present their updated progress to a different set of judges. The teams will be evaluated based on their progress, the quality of their solution, and their ability to implement it. The teams that pass this review will proceed to the final stage.

3. Final Review: At the end of the 24 hours, the remaining teams will have to present their complete solutions to a panel of judges. The teams will be evaluated based on their creativity, technicality, feasibility, and impact.

4. Final Presentation: The top teams will be selected for the final presentation, where they will have the opportunity to present their solution in front of a large audience and potential investors. The final presentation will be followed by a Q&A session, where the teams can answer questions from the judges and the audience.

5. Prize Distribution: The winners will be announced and awarded prizes based on the evaluations conducted during the 24 hours.

Note: All evaluations will be based on a predefined set of criteria, and the decision of the judges will be final. The teams that do not pass the mid-way or final reviews will still receive feedback and mentorship opportunities to help them improve their solutions.

Evaluation Criteria

1. Creativity: This includes the originality and uniqueness of the idea, the level of innovation, and the level of originality in the problem statement.

2. Technicality: This includes the technical skills and knowledge of the team members, the level of complexity in the solution, and the level of accuracy in the implementation.

3. Feasibility: This includes the practicality and viability of the solution, the level of scalability, and the potential impact it can have.

4. Impact: This includes the potential benefits and positive changes the solution can bring, its ability to solve real-world problems, and its potential for future growth.

5. Presentation: This includes the quality of the presentation, the ability of the team to effectively communicate their idea, and the overall coherence and clarity of the solution.

Note: The evaluation criteria may vary based on the theme and focus of the problem statement. The teams will be informed of the specific criteria prior to the event, and the decision of the judges will be final.
