Competition Content
- The theme of the Competition is “5G x AI – Smart Living and Learning Anytime Anywhere”.
- The seamless integration of 5G and AI realises personalised and immersive smart living experiences. For example, with 5G connectivity, AI-powered sensors and cameras can comprehensively monitor various aspects of the communities, such as air quality, traffic conditions, and waste management. Through this advanced monitoring, communities are transformed into smart, sustainable ecosystems fostering a more environmental friendly and efficient living environment. Also, the intelligent tutoring systems supported by AI and 5G can realise personalised feedback and adaptive learning paths, offering innovative learning and teaching opportunities.
- Participating teams are required to design a project, which includes the development of a mobile application that integrates AI technologies with 5G services, to enhance the smartness of the campus, the community in the neighbourhood and/or daily living environments to achieve smart learning and living, anytime and anywhere.
- Each team’s final submission should include a mobile application and/or relevant prototype incorporating AI technologies with 5G services.
- The competition consists of two rounds. In the first round, participating teams are required to submit a project proposal outlining their ideas for review by the judging panel. In the final round, the shortlisted teams are required to complete their work according to the project proposal, and give an oral presentation of their submitted work before the judging panel.
- Schools should participate on a team basis. Each participating school can nominate a maximum of two teams to join the Competition.
- Each team should consist of three to five students and one teacher as the leader.
- Participating students must be full-time secondary school students in the 2024/25 academic year.
