BOSS Codefest is a student-led hackathon available to students at Bur Oak Secondary School. The goal of this hackathon is to empower students to learn more about software development through creating projects with teams and pitching them to a panel of teacher judges.

• Complexity
  Is this project something that could easily be replicated given a few prompts to an AI model? Did the team implement complex algorithms, complex states, or similarly difficult components?
• Impact
  How well does the project align with the hackathon topic? How feasible would this project be as a real product?
• Design
  Does the project have a consistent theme and appearance? Is the project accessible? Does the project follow good user experience principles?
• Pitch
  Did the team clearly define a problem and how their project addresses this problem? Did the presenters speak clearly and communicate technical details simply?
