AUHack 2026

Expo

After hacking ends all teams will expo their projects. Here judges and fellow students will have time to test each other's projects. The expo will be at your tables where you have worked throughout the weekend.
Each team will be visited once by our three knowledgeable judges within a time interval of 2 hours. As soon as all groups and their cases have been registered, a plan for when you will be visited by the judges will be made public. Thus you will have some time to eat lunch and watch other hacks when the judges are not at your table. But be sure to be at your table a little before it says on the plan!

Best Hack Criteria

Technical Difficulty

How technically impressive was the hack? Was the technical problem the team tackled difficult? Did it use a particularly clever technique or did it use many different components? Did the technology involved make you go "Wow"?

Originality

Was the hack unique and interesting? Is it something that has never been seen before? This can range from a new spin on a known idea to completely outlandish ideas.

Polish

Did the hack both look and work beautifully? Have all bugs been squashed? The closer it looks and feels to a professional-grade application, the better.

Usefulness

Was the hack useful? Was it intuitive and easy to use? Doesn't have to be business-ready, but should have the potential to be useful in everyday life.

Bonus: Learning

Did the team stretch themselves? Did they try to learn something new? What kind of projects have they worked on before? If a team which always does virtual reality projects switch up and try doing a mobile app instead, that exploration should be rewarded.

Facepalm Criteria

Originality

The hack or the idea behind it should be unique and interesting. This can range from new and crazy spins on known ideas to completely outlandish ideas.

Funny

The hack is obviously a testament to what the human mind can do to make something funny, be it a genius pun or something that just makes you laugh.

Unusefulness

The hack doesn't have to be useful or meaningful in any sense.
