The AI-Generated Academic Video Challenge is an open competition that invites participants to create innovative, curriculum-aligned educational videos using Artificial Intelligence. Designed for topics from Classes 6–12, the competition encourages the use of AI-generated animations, simulations, diagrams, narration, and storytelling to transform complex academic concepts into engaging and easy-to-understand learning experiences. Rather than simply presenting textbook information, participants are expected to produce videos that are academically accurate, visually compelling, age-appropriate, and pedagogically effective. The competition emphasizes meaningful use of AI to enhance conceptual understanding, promote curiosity, and make learning interactive through creative and high-quality educational content. Guidelines for Creating an AI-Generated Educational Video (3–4 Minutes) These guidelines are based on the competition's objective of creating an academically accurate, engaging, and visually effective AI-generated educational video. Understand the Topic: Read the problem statement carefully. Cover all the mandatory learning objectives. Keep the content age-appropriate and conceptually accurate. Plan Your Video: Write a clear script before creating visuals. Prepare a storyboard for smooth flow. Ensure every scene supports the learning objective. Follow a Logical Structure: Hook (15–20 sec): Capture attention with a question or real-life example. Introduction (20–30 sec): Introduce the topic and learning goal. Main Explanation (2–2.5 min): Explain concepts step-by-step using AI visuals, animations, and diagrams. Real-Life Connection (20–30 sec): Show practical applications. Misconception Check (15–20 sec): Correct a common misunderstanding. Conclusion (10–15 sec): Summarize the concept and end with a quick assessment or takeaway. Use AI Purposefully: Use AI-generated visuals to simplify difficult concepts. Prefer animations, simulations, labelled diagrams, and 3D models over decorative graphics. Maintain a consistent visual style throughout. Ensure High Production Quality: Use clear, natural narration. Synchronize visuals with the explanation. Keep on-screen text minimal and readable. Use smooth transitions and subtle background music. Maintain Academic Accuracy Verify facts, formulas, and terminology. Include at least one real-life connection and one misconception check as recommended in the competition guidelines. Final Checklist: Before submission, ensure your video: Covers all required concepts. Is academically accurate. Uses AI meaningfully to enhance learning. Includes real-life examples and misconception correction. Is engaging, well-edited, and easy to understand. Remember: The strongest videos are those that use AI to make learning simpler, clearer, and more engaging—not just more visually impressive.
