AI PROMPT CHALLENGE

The NEO AI Prompt Challenge is designed to introduce students to the fascinating world of artificial intelligence and challenge them to think critically and imaginatively. AI is no longer just for engineers and software developers—it’s a tool that students of all ages can use to solve problems, explore new ideas, and even have fun. Let’s take a closer look at what’s in store for participants.

Discover the NEO AI Prompt Challenge

This challenge offers students the opportunity to interact with AI in a meaningful way. Participants will be presented with a pre-prepared image and tasked with crafting detailed prompts that describe the objects and concepts depicted. Using these prompts, they will generate images through AI, aiming to create outputs that closely match the given visuals.

The focus is on accurately describing attributes like depth, size, symmetry, color, objects, and overall composition. The result? A creative, hands-on experience that bridges technology and imagination.

Group Evaluations

Students will compete in 3 age-based groups, with tasks varying in complexity:

• Group 1: Grades 3-4-5
• Group 2: Grades 6-7-8
• Group 3: Grades 9-10-11

Each group will be evaluated on the complexity of their image prompts, including the number of objects and level of detail.

Participation Requirements

To join the NEO AI Prompt Challenge, students must bring the following items:
a) Personal Laptop
b) Laptop charging cable
c) Travel power adapter for use in the USA

Laptops must have Wi-Fi capability as wired connections will not be available.

Important: These requirements also apply to students participating in the Coding Competition. Since the Coding and AI Challenge Competitions take place at different times, students can participate in both categories.

Preparing for the NEO AI Prompt Challenge

Participants in this competition can access a special NEO AI menu within their NEO Student Panel to write prompts and generate images using the platform. They can experiment with different prompts to observe the results provided by AI for various purposes, such as specific definitions or creative requests. Each student will receive up to 80 image generation credits on the NEO AI platform prior to the exam.

Procedure for the NEO AI Prompt Challenge

• The NEO AI Prompt Challenge, like other challenges and categories, will be held at NJIT University.
• The exam duration is 1 hour.
• During the exam, students may produce up to 20 images using the NEO AI platform.
• Students will submit one of the images they created via the student panel.
• A three-member evaluation jury, comprising NJIT instructors, will select the top three entries from each group based on the submitted images.
