MAKE IT YOURS. KEEP IT HONEST.

• Teams consist of 1–4 high school students. Solo builders are welcome.
• The main project must be built during the event. Brainstorming beforehand is allowed.
• Existing libraries, frameworks, APIs, models, and boilerplate are allowed.
• Significant pre-existing work must be disclosed. Clearly explain what your team built during OffScript.

• No plagiarism. Credit work, resources, and contributions accurately.
• Teams must honestly represent what they built, what works, and what does not.
• Never fabricate users, testing, functionality, or contributions.
• All participants must follow the Code of Conduct.

• Submit before the announced deadline. The schedule is currently a draft.
• Judges may ask teams to explain and demonstrate their work.
• Judges evaluate the work actually built during OffScript.
• Organizer decisions regarding rule violations are final.

Use AI. Don’t hide behind it.

AI tools are allowed, including coding assistants, generative tools, APIs, and models. Using a tool does not remove your responsibility for the project.

• Disclose meaningful AI use. Identify the tools used and how they contributed to your code, assets, or functionality.
• Understand your project. Be prepared to explain its behavior, architecture, limitations, and your team’s contribution.
• Represent your work accurately. Distinguish your implementation from generated content and pre-existing tools.
• Show real functionality. Clearly label prototypes, simulations, and unimplemented features. Do not fabricate evidence or results.

If you’re unsure how to disclose something, ask the organizers.
