MIT App Inventor Hackathon 2020 Registration To ensure that we have enough judges, we are requesting that teams register for the competition prior to June 19th. For team registrations, only one member per team needs to register (please indicate all team member names in the form). There is no restriction on the size a team, but be aware that adding more team members may impede team progress.

Submission Requirements Teams must submit an AIA project export of their App Inventor app as well as a video of no more than 2 minutes explaining how the app works. Judges will test all apps using the code.appinventor.mit.edu server, but participants can use any of the MIT run App Inventor services to develop their apps. List of MIT services: ai2.appinventor.mit.edu (USA) code.appinventor.mit.edu (USA) coolthink.appinventor.mit.edu (Hong Kong) app.gzjkw.net (China) Video Information Videos may be in languages other than English, but we kindly ask that if you choose to record your video in another language that you provide English subtitles for the judges. Videos may be hosted on a third party service (e.g., YouTube), but must be accessible for judging. The submission form will allow you to upload a video or provide a link. Given that judges may be reviewing many submissions, use the video as an opportunity to highlight the main goals and features of your app. App Information Apps should be submitted as exported projects, and should be the original works of the team members. Judges will import your projects into App Inventor to evaluate and test them. If we need a login to use your app, please use the corresponding fields in the final submission form to provide login details for the judges. Please do not use any copyrighted material in your submissions unless you can also provide written documentation to indicate you have permission to use those materials. Materials licensed under permissive licenses such as Creative Commons are okay, but please indicate the source of the material in your app. If your app works with external hardware, please describe in your final submission the hardware required and how the app interacts with it. If possible, we will try to acquire hardware for testing, but your description of how the app interfaces with the hardware may be used for judging if the corresponding materials cannot be acquired.
