SUMMARY:Ocean of Data: AI in Action\, featuring Building Bridges
DESCRIPTION:Join this special edition of the Ocean of Data Challenge\, featuring Building Bridges. Hosted by DeepSense\, COVE\, and ShiftKey Labs\, this exciting challenge offers a unique opportunity to collaborate and develop innovative ideas! The free event kicks off on Tuesday\, June 3rd at 6 pm AST with an introduction to the challenge\, expert presentations\, and a Q&A session to help fuel your creativity. Participants must submit video entries by 11:59 pm AST on Tuesday\, June 17th. Judges will review submissions over the following two weeks\, and winners will be announced on Thursday\, July 3rd. \nWho should participate?  \nGreat ideas often emerge from diverse perspectives\, so we encourage students from all disciplines to participate – whether that be computer science\, engineering\, biology\, sustainability\, business\, or any other program! Participants must be current students (full-time or part-time) or recent graduates (within the past 12 months) of a post-secondary institution in Atlantic Canada. You can choose to work solo or collaborate with a team of up to five members. Please make sure to review the Official Rules below. \nThe Rules \n\nCompetitors must either own the rights to all software used in their project or have written permission from the owner.\nSubmissions can be as simple as an infographic or as complex as a machine learning model for predictions. Surprise us! Projects will be judged on their clarity\, creativity\, and potential impact.\nCompetitors can participate individually or in teams of up to 5 members.\nSubmissions must not include any confidential information.\nEach project must be based on data from the CIOOS Data Portal\, with the source clearly cited in the presentation\, infographic\, visual\, or slides (additional data sources can be used to supplement CIOOS data).\nCompetitors must currently live in Canada and have an active Canadian bank account.\nCompetitors must be a current part-time or full-time student at a post-secondary institution in Canada OR have graduated from one of these institutions within the past 12 months.\n\nFor more information\, visit https://deepsense.ca/ocean-of-data-challenge/. If you have any questions regarding eligibility\, reach out to info@deepsense.ca.
