Below you find all the information you need to apply with your project.
Project video, poster and description will be the base for the jury decision. Please ensure that you have the permission to use all graphics and pictures. Therefore, we kindly ask you to sign the ‘Declaration of consent form for teachers’ and have your students sign the ‘Declaration of consent form for students’. This form must be signed by all students who are either named as part of the competing team and/or seen in the video or any additional image material. In case the students are underage, the declaration of consent form must additionally be signed by a parent or legal guardian.

Further evaluation aspects
Through the work in the project, the students should have gained a deeper understanding of AI / machine learning and improved their digital skills.
The jury will also look at the following aspects and the project should include some of them:
- Transfer of fundamental knowledge: Students learn how the AI collects, treats and processes data to find new answers.
- Technical implementation: Apply AI techniques and algorithms to the project and/or use AI in a creative way and understand the technical implementation.
- Uses of AI to solve or perform routine tasks in an innovative manner. This includes to use the AI in a reflective way, e.g., solutions are checked for plausibility.
- Ethical considerations: Address ethical issues associated with the AI system and discuss mitigation methods.
