All of these functionalities are just a pip install taipy away and can cut your development time in half! Use Taipy in your hackathon project for a chance to win a set of Wireless Headphones for you and each of your team members, as well as a chance to have your project featured on the Taipy website!

Best Use of Starknet

Starknet is redefining the very notion of Web3 by tackling one of the most intimidating technical challenges in the industry - scaling a blockchain while maintaining its security and decentralization. Starknet was the first general purpose ZK-Rollup service on Ethereum in Feb. 2022, and has proved its potential to be a market leader. Essentially, it increases the processing speed, while reducing the cost of operating on the Ethereum blockchain. As a result, we are seeing a variety of “traditional” tech businesses - payments / social media / AI / online gaming - now being integrated with blockchains using our technology. Moreover, the Starknet community is a growing pool of global talent - from feisty college students to some of the most illustrious PhDs in the world. Wanna be a part of this growing community?

Best Use of AI in Education

Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, such as large language models (LLMs), are transforming how we interact with computers. During this weekend's hackathon, we want you to apply AI towards improving education to produce tools that support the quality, accessibility, and equitability of learning in today's classrooms. You can use AI to address any challenge teachers and students face, such as curriculum planning, question selection, teacher training, content generation, personalized feedback, automated grading and more. For this challenge, we encourage you to draw on your own educational experiences and propose technical solutions to problems you've regularly encountered as students — after all, you are the best to know where our education system needs improvement. Design impactful and effective AI tools for education for a chance to win a TickTime Pomodoro Timer! To give you some inspiration, we're sharing some educational and technical resources: <ul> <li> <a href="http://hackp.ac/schmidt-LE-challenges" target="_blank">This list</a> of the most pressing issues educational leaders have around AI </li> <li>An introduction to the emerging field of <a href="http://hackp.ac/schmidt-LE-intro" target="_blank">Learning Engineering</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://hackp.ac/schmidt-ai-map" target="_blank">A map of AI in education</a> </li> <li>A <a href="http://hackp.ac/schmidt-LLM" target="_blank">recent competition series using LLMs</a> for automated essay evaluation </li> </ul>
