NEW Prizes!

We’re excited to announce that a Grand Prize winner will be selected from the three category winners (Student Life, Learning, and Community); the submission receiving the highest overall score, as determined by the judging panel, will be the Grand Prize winner and new owner of an AWS DeepRacer and the coveted Alexa Skills Challenge Trophy.

AWS DeepRacer is the fastest way to get rolling with machine learning, literally. Get hands-on with a fully autonomous 1/18th scale race car driven by reinforcement learning, 3D racing simulator, and global racing league. AWS DeepRacer comes with an HD camera, a dual-core Intel processor, the hardware it needs to pilot itself and a blank slate where its driving skills should be.

But wait there’s more…

Devpost will select one awesome Slack community member who  assists others that are stuck on issues, provides relevant resources to makers in need, and shares constructive feedback. This user will also be awarded an AWS DeepRacer and the honorary title of Devpost MVP!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Slack users must be an eligible participant (age 18+ U.S. only) of the challenge to qualify for the prize.
