Four weeks of work. One pitch. An audience. Real stakes. Let's make it count.
Final ranking = judge score + normalised audience vote.
Ties broken by judge score.
Your first sentence sets the tone. Make the audience feel the problem before you introduce anything else.
Glancing at your slide to orient is fine. Reading off it is not.
These are the most common Q&A targets. Every team member should be able to answer, not just the presenter.
Wrap up your current point cleanly. Don't rush through your remaining slides — skip to your conclusion.
Judges trust teams that acknowledge real limitations. Overconfidence loses points.
Do not discuss scores with other judges until all teams have pitched. Your initial reaction matters — don't anchor to others.
A well-reasoned argument about bias and ethics from a plain slide beats a beautiful deck with surface-level thinking.
After each pitch, each judge may ask one question. Target the weakest part of their argument or a gap you noticed.
Score against criteria, not against other teams. A team scoring 18/21 deserves that score even if another team also scored well.
After all pitches, scan the QR code or go to the link on screen. You have one vote. Choose the team whose idea you think is most impactful and well-argued.
Which idea would make the biggest real-world difference if it were actually built?
Which team showed they really understood the AI, the risks, and the limitations honestly?
Vote for the best idea — not your team or your section. The result is public.

Over the coming weeks, your teacher will work with the winning team to turn their AI system concept into a real, working prototype. This is the prize — not a certificate, a product.
In 4 weeks, you went from an idea to a full AI system design — with a real understanding of the technology, the data, and the ethics behind it.
ML types, bias, neural networks, LLMs, ethics — all connected to something real you designed.
Not just "AI is cool" but "here's where it fails, who it harms, and what we'd do about it."
Turning technical ideas into a clear, convincing pitch is a skill most adults struggle with. You did it.
Congratulations to every team that got up and pitched. 🎉
