EVALUATION
The evaluation committee of the proposed solutions is made up of 50 mentors and experts. Each project will be evaluated by at least 4 experts. The evaluation criteria are:
- Degree of innovation: We ask ourselves questions such as: How does innovation and technology connect to solve the problem? Does the project need to create new solutions or apply existing solutions from a new perspective?
- Added social value: We ask ourselves questions such as: How does the idea fit into the technology and sustainable development paradigm? Does the project generate a positive impact on people, communities or companies?
- Feasibility and scalability: We ask ourselves questions such as: Is the project realistic in technological, scientific, legal and social aspects? What is the time to carry out the project? Can the project be applied in some regions, making changes minors ?, Is the solution focused on the end user ?. What resources are used for design and implementation?
- Project progress : We ask ourselves questions such as: Is there a minimum viable product or prototype of the solution?
- Comprehensive project communication: We ask ourselves questions such as: How is the solution to the problem presented? How clear is the project documentation?
