Considering global mass COVID-19 vaccina tion 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 so cieties are providing technical support for the competition.\n\nThe compet ition will culminate in an exhibition of project displays\, final judging\ , and awards presentation in Alexandria\, Egypt. The competition will be d ivided into levels and categories. The competition website\, https://r8.ie ee.org/egypt-apmtt/about-and-news-2/\, has the most recent updates for the competition details of all the activities.\n\nThe Advantages of IC-SIT Co mpetition\n\nIn fact\, the IC-SIT competition provides much-needed structu re to those who are just getting started in science\, technology\, and eng ineering\, while also serving as a skill-building opportunity for those wh o are more advanced in smart technologies\, coding\, programming\, design development\, robotics\, and much more.\n\nThe advantages of the IC-SIT co mpetition 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 bot h newcomers to IC-SIT and advanced students\, the right competition can pr ovide a great opportunity to enhance their vision and practical practice. The IC-SIT competition allows all participants to expect to solve real-wor ld problems\, face challenges that require hands-on participation\, and th ink outside the box.\n\nWho can participate in this competition?\n\nThe IC -SIT competition has two levels for both international and national compet itors:\n\n* Secondary Schools (Government-STEM-Private-Technological)\n* C olleges and Universities (Government-National-Private-Technological)\n\n- Individuals or small groups of up to five students can form teams. All tea m members must be from the same high school\, college\, or university.\n- Each school\, college\, or university may allow up to ten teams to partici pate.\n- 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.\n\nEligibility\n\nAll team members must be at least 16 y ears old. Multiple teams can exist in secondary schools\, colleges\, and u niversities. Before registering\, it is up to each team to find one eligib le academic advisor (see below) who will oversee the team during the compe tition.\n\nA 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 un confirmed or declined will be ineligible for prizes or participation certi ficates\, even if they are able to participate. Furthermore\, their compet ition ranking will not be included in the final rankings. It is the team l eader's job to check on the status of the advisor before the competition.\ n\nTeam members must solve and finish the problems without the assistance of others or prewritten code. Please keep in mind that the competition's g oal and spirit is for students\, not others\, to solve a problem. People a cting as advisors must limit their support and make no contributions. Work by an advisor on behalf of a competitor is never permitted.\n\nAgenda: \n Competition Timeline\n\n-\n\n4 March 2023\n\nDeadline for Registration and Proposal Submission\n\n-\n\n20 March 2023\n\nPreliminary Selection Notifi cation\n\n-\n\n30 April 2023\n\nDeadline for Project File Collection\n\n-\ n\n10 May 2023\n\nProject Submission Deadline Revision\n\n-\n\n20 June 202 3\n\nLevel Acceptance Notification\n\n-\n\n7 July 2023\n\nNotification of Final Judging\n\n-\n16-17 July 2023\n\nCeremony of Awards\n\nKing Mariout Academy - KMA \, Alexandria\, Alexandria\, Al-Iskandariyah\, Egypt LOCATION:King Mariout Academy - KMA \, Alexandria\, Alexandria\, Al-Iskanda riyah\, Egypt ORGANIZER:apmtt.egypt.chapter@gmail.com SEQUENCE:18 SUMMARY:International Competition on Smart Innovation Technologies\, IC-SIT '2023 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/330983 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>About The IC-SIT'2023</strong></p> \n<p>The IEEE Egypt AP-S/MTT-S Joint Chapter\, Alexandria\, Egypt\, organi zes the International Competition on Smart Innovation Technologies (IC-SIT ).
