What to Build and Project Focus

Your project must incorporate artificial intelligence technology as a core component of its functionality. Think beyond abstract awareness—focus on making solutions actionable, measurable, and practical.Consider focusing on areas such as:

• Solving local environmental issues or making sustainability metrics measurable.

• Building study assistants or tools that automate and streamline academic workloads.

• Developing applications that support children, teenagers, or vulnerable community groups.

• Simplifying complex operational challenges observed in your school or neighborhood.

Submission Requirements

To successfully complete your submission on Devpost, ensure your project entry includes the following items:

• Project Title & Description: A clear, concise overview of what your project does, the problem it solves, and how it works.

• Technologies & Tools Used: A list of programming languages, frameworks, APIs, and AI models utilized.

• Public GitHub Repository: A link to your open-source code repository containing clean, documented code.

• Video Presentation: A 2 to 5-minute video demonstration explaining your project, showcasing its core features, and walking through the user experience.

• Team Name: The registered name of your team. ( You can compete solo or in a team of 1 to 5 members.)
