- Competition title
Imagine designing an ocean communication network (surface and/or underwater) and an unmanned and/or manned ocean vehicle (surface and/or underwater) based on this communication network in 2028. Conceptualize a specific application scenario for the spacecraft to communicate through this communication network, and design a blueprint for the necessary facilities and related equipment to achieve the completion of a specific task for a certain marine activity.
- Competition format
Creative design renderings and demonstrations of ocean communication networks and spacecraft mission scenarios.
- Competition description
3.1 Participants
University group: graduate students, undergraduate students, and college students.
Primary and secondary school groups: high school, junior high school, and elementary school students;
Each group of members (including the captain and team members) shall not exceed 5 people.
3.2 Description of entries
Upload 4 conceptual design drawings, 1 poster, and a problem solving manual (see annex) for the preliminary round of navigation, including application scenario design in the poster. The specific requirements for submitting materials are as follows:
The layout of the design drawing is A4 size per sheet, including 3 views on a white background and 1 rendering effect on a white background;
The poster design format is one page in A3 size (including three views, the application of aircraft to scene graph and instructions).
The above data are all JPG files, in RGB format, with a resolution of 300dpi. The final requires the preparation of a roadshow PPT, and if there is a video, it must be in MP4 format, with a duration of no more than 2 minutes.
Note: Primary and secondary school student groups are exempt from creating rendering renderings.
3.3 Competition process
The competition is divided into two stages: preliminary and final.
In the preliminary stage, expert online reviews will be conducted, and participants will submit electronic versions of their works (hand drawn as scanned versions). The selected works will enter the finals.
In the final stage, the shortlisted works will undergo offline roadshows, with each team's roadshow and expert Q&A time not exceeding 10 minutes.
