These are the Rules for the Neuron Global Hackathon 2022 (the “Hackathon”):
- This is a team participation Hackathon. You can have at most four members in your team.
- The Hackathon will start on 15 October 2022 and end on 29 October 2022 (GMT+8).
- There are two phases in the Hackathon. The first phase starts on 15 October 2022 and ends on 21 October 2022. The second phase starts on 22 October 2022 and ends on 29 October 2022. All times and dates are in GMT+8 time.
- This is an online hackathon, so you can participate from anywhere.
- All participants must be a full-time or part-time student from a post-secondary institution in Singapore, Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the United Kingdom. Participants will be asked to verify their enrolment at a post-secondary institution on registration.
- The submissions in the first phase of the Hackathon will be automatically evaluated by the system.
- In the first phase, teams will have an option to submit as many hacks as they want. However, each team can only submit one hack per hour. The system will record the best score of the submissions from each team.
- At the end of the first phase, the teams will be ranked in descending order of the best score from each team.
- The 20 teams with the best scores will be selected to enter the second phase of the Hackathon. New data will be provided to these teams for the second phase of the Hackathon.
- By the end of the second phase, each of the selected teams will submit a report based on the new data released for the second phase.
- Each report will be in the form of presentation slides, consisting of at most 10 pages. The report is expected to cover the design of the solution, the data processing and the final results of the solution.
- Each report will be assessed by six judges. Three of these judges will be from Neuron and three will be university professors.
- The final rank of the teams is based on the average score from the judges.
- Your hack must be developed entirely during the Hackathon duration. You may use materials provided in the Resource center, open source libraries and other freely available systems and services, such as Open Street Map.
