Sharing Files to Your Project Submission Page
What is the name of your project?
Provide a high-level summary of your project. What did you develop? How does it address the challenge? Why is it important?
Provide a short demonstration ("demo") of your project, either in the form of a 7-slide presentation or a 30-second video presentation. Upload your demo to an external site (a cloud-based hosting service or code repository, e.g. YouTube, Google Drive, GitHub, One Drive, Dropbox, etc.) and provide a publicly accessible link. The link you provide should not require a password, permission, or registration in order to access your project demo. Review the "Tips for Creating a Project Demo" section for additional details.
This demo will be considered in your overall project evaluation, but the majority of judges’ evaluation will be based on your project submission. Note: a strong project demo can increase the potential for a high score in the Presentation category of the judging rubric.
Share a publicly accessible link to your final project. This can be a website you created to showcase your project, a cloud-based hosting service or code repository, or platforms such as YouTube, Google Drive, GitHub, One Drive, Dropbox, etc. The link you provide should not require a password, permission, or registration in order to access your final project.
