SUMMARY:AI for Learning & Development Build Challenge | Kickoff
DESCRIPTION:About the challenge\nWelcome to the AI for Learning & Development Build Challenge with the AI Collective Hampton Roads Chapter to be held at the Regent University Library in Virginia Beach.\nThis is a local build challenge with an in-person kickoff\, followed by a two-week build phase\, then an in-person presentation & judging event.\nYou’ll have two weeks to build an AI application based on the problem statement shared at the kickoff event. This AI Build Challenge is open to adult participants of all skill levels\, from experienced developers to beginner using no or low code tools. You’re encouraged to use AI tools to further your development. After the build phase\, you’ll deliver an in-person presentation to judges and other attendees. The winning projects will receive prizes (TBA).\nKickoff on Thursday\, June 4th from 6:30–8:00pm.\nWe encourage you to join us in person in the Regent Library Auditorum\, but the kickoff will be also be recorded if you’re unable to attend.\nBuild Phase from June 5th through 18th. You can work individually or in teams.\nPresentations & Judging on Thursday\, June 18th from 6:30–9:00pm. Return to the Regent Library Auditorium to share your work! Presentations must be delivered in person to be considered for judging and prizes.\nGET STARTED\nThe first thing you should do is register through Devpost before the June 4th Kickoff.\nYou can work individually or in teams\, but registration is important because space is limited. Then plan to come out to the Kickoff event to discover the problem statement and receive inspiration and development guidance from our AI Collective experts.\nIf you’re unable to attend the in-person Kickoff\, that’s okay because we’ll share a recording after the event with those who pre-register.\nThis is a beginner-friendly event. If you’re never participated in a build challenge or hackathon\, this is your opportunity! The Kickoff will include some initial guidance regarding topics and tools\, and we’ll make additional online resources available during the two week build phase.\nRequirements\nWHAT TO BUILD\nYou’ll build a project that uses AI to enhance learning and development (with more details unveiled at the Kickoff event). Projects will be evaluated on potential impact\, not technical complexity.\nWHAT TO SUBMIT\nPrior to the in-person Presentations & Judging event\, please submit the following in Devpost:\nProject Overview (e.g.\, PDF one-sheet\, slidedeck\, etc.)\nCode Repository (e.g.\, Github) and/or Project Link (e.g. website)\nAt the Presentations & Judging event\, please prepare for the following:\n3-5 minute presentation and/or demo\n2-3 minute Q&A with judges\nIn-person delivery (at least one team member in attendance)\nJudging Criteria\nImpact and Relevance\nDoes the solution address a real learning or development need? How meaningful is the potential impact on learners\, educators\, or organizations?\nInnovation & Creativity\nHow original is the approach? Does the team use AI in a novel or surprising way to solve the problem?\nFunctionality & Demo\nDoes the solution work as demonstrated? Is the core concept functional\, even if not fully polished?\nUser Experience\nIs the solution intuitive and accessible? Would the target user actually want to use it?\nPresentation Quality\nIs the team’s pitch clear\, compelling\, and well-structured? Do they effectively communicate the problem\, solution\, and value?\nLearn more: https://ai-challenge-regent-aichr.devpost.com/ \nShare this location:
