YES! Every year, our team members carefully choose prizes that will be awarded to overall top teams and superlative winners in many different categories (every team member receives their own). In past years, we have awarded Airpod Pros, Tory Burch Handbags, HyperX Gear, Instax Printers, EntrepreneuHER merch, and much more!

Yes. There is a new theme/challenge that is announced in the opening ceremony of the annual makeathon. ​

​

We want to keep the challenge broad enough so that you have the opportunity to explore different areas of the intersection between entrepreneurship and technology. We encourage you to think outside the box, and we commend people who think of very unique ideas that solve a wide range of issues relating to the theme. You may take the challenge in whatever direction you desire, so don't hesitate to try something new!

​

2020 Challenge: COVID-19

2021 Challenge: Connecting for Social Good

Every year, we invite industry experts in technology and entrepreneurship to judge your pitches.

Judges are not looking for a completely polished and fully functional product; instead, they look for innovative ideas and well thought-out plans that solve a problem.

• Having a fully functional and polished product is definitely a boost to your pitch; however, it is not the main aspect that the judges are looking for when judging.

• Examples of how you can create a demo without a fully fledged product:

  • Figma wireframe or prototype

  • Website builder (Wix, etc.)

  • Flow chart (The process of how your project would work)

  • Partially coded project (Does not have full functionalities, but demonstrates how it the functionality would be used)​

Relavent Problem

• Your project should provide a solution to a problem that IS a real problem

• Your team should demonstrate how your project can make an impact on your problem

Innovative but Realistic Solution

• We encourage you to think outside of the box, however, your project must also be realistic so that it would actually function properly in the real-world

• Address any potential flaws in your project or potential negative impacts that your project may have and propose how they can be prevented or minimized

• Judges are also looking for innovative or "out-of-the-box" ideas that are unique to the market

Professional Presentation

• Visuals used in the project and pitch are presented in a professional way that is easy to follow and understand

• Team members who are speaking in the video should speak clearly and concisely

• Should use professional language and avoid adding unecessary information

• Also, try to make your presentation as engaging as possible through video editing, visuals, audio, and/or etc.

  • Judges love videos that are fun, unique, and creative!

We believe that every single person has the right to hack in a safe and welcoming environment that fosters open dialogue and the free expression of ideas, free of harassment, discrimination, and hostile conduct. We recognize a shared responsibility to create and maintain that environment for the benefit of all.

If what you’re doing is making someone feel uncomfortable, that counts as harassment and is enough reason to stop doing it. Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately. Sponsors, judges, mentors, volunteers, organizers, EntrepreneuHER team and anyone else at the event are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, attendees should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material both in their hacks and during the event.
