Welcome to the September Fall Classic, a premier virtual hackathon designed for the next generation of innovators, developers, and creators. This month, we are pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence to solve real-world problems. Whether you are an AI enthusiast, a seasoned data scientist, or a creative designer, this challenge is a great opportunity to build, collaborate, and showcase your skills on a global stage.
Participants can join solo or form teams of up to four members. The event runs until September 26th, giving hackers time to design, code, and submit a working prototype along with a 2-minute video demonstration.
What to Build Build an educational tool that leverages the power of AI/Machine Learning to transform how people learn, teach, or absorb information. Your project should aim to make knowledge more accessible, engaging, or personalized.
Judging Criteria Projects will be evaluated based on the following criteria: - Educational Impact (25 pts): How effectively does the tool solve a real problem in education? Does it genuinely help people learn, teach, or understand a concept better? - Creative Use of AI/ML (25 Points): How clever and meaningful is the integration of machine learning? We are looking for projects where AI is core to the functionality, not just an afterthought. - Technical Execution (25 Points): Is the application functional, stable, and intuitive to use? Judges will look at the quality of the codebase, user interface (UI), and overall user experience (UX). - The Pitch & Demo (25 Points): How well did the team communicate their vision? Points are awarded for a clear, concise, and engaging 2-minute video that clearly explains the "why" and "how" behind the project.
Prizes Certificates will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
