Looking for Solutions - we understand that not everyone is a computer scientist or engineer. That is why we value quality solutions to problems that are innovative, realistic & functional. Apps are great but a great looking application that doesn't solve a problem isn't going to win PantherHack.

Innovation - Make sure your idea is original. If someone has done it before then find a way to do it differently.

Form < Functionality - Although having a great looking solution is a big plus, the functionality of your solution is key to your success at PantherHack.

Helping People - Technology is an incredible tool but what good is a tool if it doesn't benefit the user. Make sure your solution clearly benefits a group of people. The more people your technology impacts the more useful it is.
