Art Smart Challenge for Smart Villages and Cities

Art Smart Challenge for Smart Villages and Cities

 

Introduction

 

The Art Smart Challenge for Smart Villages and Cities is an artificial intelligence–based challenge that promotes the integration of AI applications and technologies in developing innovative solutions for villages and cities. Participants may choose to work on entire villages or cities, or on specific parts thereof, such as schools, hospitals, sports facilities, roads, neighborhoods, or residential units, transforming them into smart environments. Participation does not require developing a full village or city.

 

The challenge program consists of four progressive stages. Participants advance from one stage to the next only after successfully completing the previous stage, ultimately reaching the final stage. Each stage has its own evaluation score and participation certificate, encouraging participants to enjoy a comprehensive learning journey that culminates in the final stage. Participants who do not pass a stage are not eligible to advance to the next stage and will receive a participation certificate for the stage they successfully completed.

 

In this context, Art Smart Company—specialized in smart solutions for urban planning—has launched this challenge as part of its social responsibility. The challenge is designed as an applied training and skills development program, transforming the learning process into a challenge-based journey that motivates participants toward self-directed learning. Artificial intelligence is positioned as a means rather than an end, with the ultimate goal of enhancing participants’ innovative and creative capabilities in problem-solving and community development.

 

Objective

 

The challenge aims to discover creative and innovative talents by promoting self-learning and developing logical and critical thinking skills in the effective use of artificial intelligence to improve and develop communities.

 

Challenge Stages

 

Similar to the branches of a tree, participants may progress to higher stages only after achieving a minimum score of 75% in each stage. The stages are organized as follows:

 

1.     Innovative and Creative Ideas and AI-Based Solutions Stage

2.     AI-Based Design Stage

3.     Prototype Development Stage

4.     Final Product Stage**

   (Includes analysis of scientific and engineering test results of the final product, along with future outlook)
