What are the project categories?
- The categories relate to the technology you use to create your project. You may only select one category during registration. The categories are Scratch, Hardware, Mobile Apps, Web, Games, and Advanced Programming.
- If you make your project in Scratch, you must enter your project in the Scratch category, even if it’s a game.
- For all other categories (Hardware, Mobile Apps, Web, Games, and Advanced Programming), you need to make a short video (maximum of two minutes) in which you screen share your project and code. If you want, you can answer the registration form questions about your project in your video.
- If you enter a project in the Mobile Apps category, you may wish to use an app emulator in your video.
Eligibility Criteria
- To make sure that your project can be showcased in the Coolest Projects gallery:
- You must be eligible to take part.
- If you’re up to 18 years old and you have made a cool project involving technology, you can join in. You can work on your project as an individual or as part of a team of up to five young people.
- Your project must be new or significantly changed from last time.
- You must not have registered the same project in another Coolest Projects event (e.g. Coolest Projects 2022) or you must have made a big change to your project since it was last registered.
- Your project does not need to be finished!
- All projects are welcome, from beginner to advanced, in any programming language and using whatever hardware you have available. Don’t worry if your project is not 100% complete — we love to see prototypes and works in progress.
- Your project must include the answers to these three questions:
- Tell them about your project. Why did you choose to make this project?
- What did you find difficult while making your project and how did you work it out?
- Is there anything you would do differently or you would add if you had more time?
- They will ask you for these answers in the registration form, but we’d love to see you explain them in your video too.
- Your project and answers must be in English.
- Your project description must be in English. You can ask someone to translate for you if you need to, or you can use subtitles.
- Your project must be shared so that it can be viewed by other people.
- Ask your parents or guardians for permission to upload and share your project. If you are younger than 13, ask your parents or guardians to upload and share your project on your behalf.
- Once your project is approved by their moderators, it will be available for the whole world to see.
