Requirements

All projects must be submitted by 10:00 AM on Sunday, April 6th. 

All code written for your submission must be attached to this submission (preferably by linking to a public GitHub repository).

All team members must be listed on the submission so that prizes can be awarded accordingly.

To be eligible for prizes, at least one team member must present your project at the judging exposition, but the expo is not the only criterion for judging. 

Each team is only allowed to submit 1 project.

Projects can be disqualified at the organizers' discretion. Reasons might include but are not limited to breaking the rules, breaking the Code of Conduct, or other unsportsmanlike behavior.
