School registration must be submitted by a member of staff authorised to commit the school. After confirming the registration details, the school continues directly to payment. We issue a unique school code for student entries.

School registration closes on 10 October 2026. Finalist names and categories must be confirmed by 24 October 2026. We may accept late entries at our discretion where capacity allows.

4. Fees and payment

The participation fee is AED 75 per registered student and is payable through the secure online payment step after school registration. Entries are confirmed once payment has been received.

Fees are stated exclusive of any bank or card processing charges applied by the payment provider. Prices are in UAE dirhams.

6. Judging

Projects are assessed by an independent panel of ICT and engineering professionals against published criteria: technical execution 30%, innovation 25%, design 20%, demonstration 15% and documentation 10%. The panel's decisions are final and are not subject to appeal. Work must be the students' own; entries found to be plagiarised or substantially produced by an adult may be disqualified.
