Frequently Asked Questions
No. STEAM in AI will announce the AI Challenge for the season on October 5th at the AI Bootcamp Megathon. All teams will work on the same challenge.
Every team will find their own unique solution to the AI Challenge problem. In other words, even though the problem is the same for all the teams, how you solve the problem will be unique to your team.
Your AI Solution can be an AI model, a Wireframe, an App, a Research Paper explaining your team’s unique approach to solving the AI Championship Seasonal Challenge.
You will be asked to submit a link to a shared Google Drive in your final submission. That Drive should have a Document with links to all your team’s work depending upon what you’re submitting: GitHub for code, Presentation, Website, App, Research Paper along with details of how you got there – research that your team did, prototype designs, algorithm flow chart, etc. You don’t need to submit these all. Just what is relevant to your unique solution.
No. Not all teams are required to create their AI solution using code. We want to see your approach of solving this AI Challenge with or without code. You can solve it using code, build a wireframe, create a prototype for an app, build a website, submit a research paper.
Detailed judging criteria will be announced when we announce the Challenge for this Season 2024-2025.
But for now you must know that the judging criteria will also take into account if your team is a STEAM in AI Ambassador and the number of teams signed up with your unique Ambassador code. This means that there are special points for outreach.
Yes. Teams qualifying for the finals will receive a Final Qualifying Certificate even if they don’t win in the Finals.
