All participants who pass Level 1 will receive a Mind Skill certification from NCS, and the top scorers will go into the second round.

Stage 2: Ideas for Impact

The second stage will take place March 8-14.

Your team will design a futuristic robot or app that incorporates technologies such as 5G networking, Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning to address a social problem and create positive impact.

You are encouraged to present your creative idea as if you were introducing the actual product to potential investors who may turn your idea into a reality.

The best teams will receive a pair of wireless gaming earbuds and move up to level 3.

Level 3: Solve with synergy

Your team will meet on a day between March 15th and March 21st.

The mission is to defeat the malicious Artificial Intelligence (AI) in an eased virtual escape game by solving a series of puzzles.
