Smart Spaces Design Challenge - Some Quick Guidance on Project Updates & Final Write-Ups

JoBatcliffe🦇

Hey everyone, as we are now well into the build period I'm sure many of us are thinking about our final progress updates and end-of-project write-up, I thought it would be helpful to share some guidance and examples.

Originality, innovation, and technical merit all factor into the judging criteria for the challenge. Further to this, you can choose how to structure your 5+ forum posts and final write-up, however, content should be clear and follow the evolution of your project through to completion.

Media-rich posts will be judged more favorably so, where possible, share your work by including:

  • Photos
  • Videos
  • Code samples

Overall - express your creativity, ingenuity, knowledge, and hard work Slight smile In line with this, a reminder that it is not acceptable to create Design Challenges entries (or Project14 / RoadTest content) using an LLM or OpenAI's ChatGPT or similar. This is covered further in a post over in the Feedback & Support sub-group.

There have already been a very good number of project updates here in the Smart Spaces forum, but for further inspiration you can always take a look at previous Design Challenges like the Start A Movement competition. Click here to go straight to the final project write-ups.

  • Thank you,  for sharing this helpful guidance and reminders for the Smart Spaces Design Challenge. 

    I want to mention that I actively use LLMs (Large Language Models) for my daily activities in both professional and hobbyist settings. Prompt engineering and working with LLMs is something I’m greatly interested in—I’m constantly crafting prompts to support my job, technical writing, and brainstorming ideas for projects. For me, LLMs are invaluable tools that help spark creativity and refine ideas as I work through project challenges.

    As Cstanton noted in a comment at end of the recent site announcement Regulation of Content Created and Submitted to the Site Using LLM Tools and ChatGPT), "The element14 Community teams and staff also use LLMs and OpenAI’s ChatGPT for content creation, and are exploring ways to clearly display authorship and creation methods". I strive to follow these guidelines and am transparent about my own use of these tools in my posts.

    I greatly appreciate the community’s openness to technological innovation—including LLMs—in project development and documentation. Looking forward to sharing more updates as I move toward completion!

    Thank you
