Project Competition

🏆 The DES School organizes an annual team project competition for its participants. The project should contain a well-grounded idea, such as a computer application or other innovation, which provides real economic or social benefits to society or users. The team must create a detailed plan to develop and implement their idea. We will announce the prize-giving ceremony for the winners of the project competition later.

General Guidelines

1. 🕒 Presentation Format
   • Each team has up to 10 minutes to present and defend the project.
     • 5–7 minutes for the presentation.
     • Remaining time for jury Q&A.
   • While one team is answering questions, the next team should prepare for their turn.
2. 📂 Required Presentation File
   • Send your deck (PDF, PPTX, etc.) to the organizing committee in advance.
   • Your presentation should include:
     • Title and short description: what is the project about?
     • Team members and mentor: names of all participants and mentors (if any).
     • Relevance: why is this topic important?
     • Market analysis: are there similar solutions? What makes your project different?
     • Results: highlight the main outcomes achieved during the project (the key section).
     • Value: explain the social or commercial impact of your project.
     • Future prospects: next steps or plans after the competition.
3. 🧰 Optional Materials
   • Teams may use additional files or tools during the presentation to support their ideas.
4. 🎤 Presenters
   • It is recommended that at least two team members present the project.
   • Ensure responsibilities are clear and each member contributes during the presentation.

Key Points to Remember

• Focus on real-world benefits (economic or social).
• Early-stage ideas are welcome—just bring a clear implementation plan.
• Send your presentation file to the organizing committee before the competition starts.
• Clearly explain your results and how your project stands out.
• Be ready to answer jury questions.
