It was a pleasure attending the meeting this afternoon. I have a few questions.
Team Structure & Collaboration Rules:
Can solo participants collaborate with external mentors, or must all work be done solely by registered team members?
Evaluation Criteria:
What are the key factors that judges will focus on when reviewing submissions? Is innovation more important than functionality, or should we prioritize a working MVP (Minimum Viable Product)?
Hi, thank you for reaching out with your questions.
Mentors are meant to be there to answer questions on the forums and provide feedback during the workshop sessions. They are not intended to be doing work on the teams. If there is a skillset that your team needs, we could work to find another participant with that skillset.
The submissions will be voted on by other participants in a “crowd favorite” award. There are no internal judges. So we would recommend just doing what you think would be the most exciting to other participants.
