What’s Freestyle?

In Innokas AI Freestyle, students work in teams of 1-4 persons on an idea or product that uses artificial intelligence and is freely chosen in terms of form and implementation. The event has three divisions: 1) CREATION , 2) IDEA and 3) SERVICE.

The students plan, work on and present their entry at the regional tournament to the audience and judges in the fair-type event. The entries chosen to the national tournament will be developed further and presented again at Innokka’s national tournament online event.
