Competition Project
Pirkei Avot 3 teaches that someone who forgets their learning is like someone guilty of capital punishment! Design a tool that either
- Will help people learning on Sefaria remember and internalize their learning
- Will help people navigating Sefaria more easily find sources that they are having trouble remembering
Projects will be judged primarily by how successfully they achieve the goals of these prompts. The elegance of the code, while considered, is a secondary factor in scoring.
Your submission is due at this link at 4:30 PM March 8. Sharp!
Presentations will begin at 4:40. Each group will have a total of 8 minutes to present their project. At most 6 minutes can be used to present, while the last two minutes are solely for questions from the judges (if you finish your presentation early, you can answer questions for a longer period of time).
Your judges are
Michael Kellman
Sefaria Chief Product Officer
Elliot Adler
Director, Data & Enterprise Services at Atlas-SP
Elijah Magerman
Quantitative Research Analyst at Citadel Securities
To see other tools people have made with Sefaria, feel free to look at some of their visualizations or some of the projects on the Powered by Sefaria Page (note: we are aware that these are projects that likely took well over 24 hours to make).
AI Policy
The use of ChatGPT and other generative AI is acceptable with the following restrictions:
- Only free versions of AI tools should be used
- No coding agents
- We want you to come up with the original idea for the tool. While AI can help with ideation for additional features, the initial concept should be from your natural intelligence :)
