International Competition on Smart Innovation Technologies, IC-SIT'2023

About The IC-SIT'2023

The IEEE Egypt AP-S/MTT-S Joint Chapter, Alexandria, Egypt, organizes the International Competition on Smart Innovation Technologies (IC-SIT). Considering global mass COVID-19 vaccination campaigns, it is scheduled for July 16–17, 2023, in Alexandria, Egypt, in a hybrid format (attend or online). The IEEE AP-S and MTT-S societies are providing technical support for the competition.

The competition will culminate in an exhibition of project displays, final judging, and awards presentation in Alexandria, Egypt. The competition will be divided into levels and categories. The competition website, https://r8.ieee.org/egypt-apmtt/about-and-news-2/, has the most recent updates for the competition details of all the activities.

The Advantages of IC-SIT Competition

 In fact, the IC-SIT competition provides much-needed structure to those who are just getting started in science, technology, and engineering, while also serving as a skill-building opportunity for those who are more advanced in smart technologies, coding, programming, design development, robotics, and much more.

The advantages of the IC-SIT competition include opportunities for students to think critically and work autonomously in some cases or to collaborate in teams in others, thereby strengthening their collaborative and social skills. Furthermore, for both newcomers to IC-SIT and advanced students, the right competition can provide a great opportunity to enhance their vision and practical practice. The IC-SIT competition allows all participants to expect to solve real-world problems, face challenges that require hands-on participation, and think outside the box.

Who can participate in this competition?

 The IC-SIT competition has two levels for both international and national competitors:

          * Secondary Schools (Government-STEM-Private-Technological)
          * Colleges and Universities (Government-National-Private-Technological)

• Individuals or small groups of up to five students can form teams. All team members must be from the same high school, college, or university.
• Each school, college, or university may allow up to ten teams to participate.
• The student(s) must compete in their respective category based on their age and the level/class they are currently attending in the year of the competition.

Eligibility 

All team members must be at least 16 years old. Multiple teams can exist in secondary schools, colleges, and universities. Before registering, it is up to each team to find one eligible academic advisor (see below) who will oversee the team during the competition.

A team must have a confirmed advisor to rank in the competition. When a team registers, an email is sent to the designated advisor. The advisor can then accept or decline the request to advise that team. If the advisor ignores the email, the advisor's status remains unconfirmed. At the time of the competition, all teams whose academic advisor is still unconfirmed or declined will be ineligible for prizes or participation certificates, even if they are able to participate. Furthermore, their competition ranking will not be included in the final rankings. It is the team leader's job to check on the status of the advisor before the competition.

Team members must solve and finish the problems without the assistance of others or prewritten code. Please keep in mind that the competition's goal and spirit is for students, not others, to solve a problem. People acting as advisors must limit their support and make no contributions. Work by an advisor on behalf of a competitor is never permitted.
