Welcome to LeafHacks, where middle and high school students participate in this 4-day hackathon! Join us to create games or design productivity-related interfaces; projects should adequately adhere to the overall theme, but there are no restrictions on the type of projects or the language that should be used! Although working with a friend or peer is recommended, any team size (even solo) will be allowed. Participants can build any project that is relevant to games or design (whether that will be a website mockup, app, or video game). The hackathon will begin on April 18 at 8 AM PST, and the submission deadline will be April 21 at 8 PM PST. The closing ceremony and winner announcements will take place on April 25 at 8 PM PST. We will not be accepting any late submissions (no exceptions!) so be sure to manage your time well. We look forward to seeing your projects!

• Originality
  How original is the project? Is it a unique and creative idea?
• Effort
  Is there visibly a good faith effort that has gone into the project? In most hackathons, it is common and sometimes even expected that the project will not work 100%. However, an honest amount of work and effort could get you far as well!
• Comprehensible
  Code should be readable and comprehensible to some degree, neatly laid out and preferably commented.
• Usefulness/Functionality
  If the submission is a game, how functional and well-designed is it? If the submission is a web design/interactive interface, how functional and/or useful is it to the user? Can it potentially be applied in the real world?
