Judging Criteria and Winner Selection

How effectively does the tool solve a real problem in education? Does it genuinely help people learn, teach, or understand a concept better?

How clever and meaningful is the integration of machine learning? We are looking for projects where AI is core to the functionality, not just an afterthought.

Is the application functional, stable, and intuitive to use? Judges will look at the quality of the codebase, user interface (UI), and overall user experience (UX).

How well did the team communicate their vision? Points are awarded for a clear, concise, and engaging 2-minute video that clearly explains the "why" and "how" behind the project.
