General Description
With over 500 teams and 10,000 students participating in multiple countries, the competition is an exciting program. It is an initiative of the Israeli Space Agency, as seen at https://www.space.gov.il/community-projects/1483 and https://www.space.gov.il/community-projects/1661

The required platform addresses two primary challenges:
Automated Assessment: Efficiently and consistently evaluating a high volume of pre-competition assignments using a Generative AI (GenAI) engine.
Live Judging: Replacing the previous Google Forms-based system with a robust, real-time online tool for managing and scoring live competition events.
The primary goals are to reduce the manual workload for organizers dramatically, increase scoring consistency and accuracy, provide real-time visibility to administrators, and streamline the entire competition process, accommodating submissions in English, Hebrew, and Arabic.

Project Scope
The software will be a web-based application accessible to Admins, Judges, and space experts who judge and assess students' projects. Build a real-time frontend dashboard in a well-known web framework such as Angular, Vue, or React for users and administrators. Develop the backend server to handle APIs and logic. Store and manage all data using databases like MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.  Its scope now covers two core modules:
AI-Powered Assignment Assessment Module: For automatically grading pre-competition assignments submitted as text, images, or video.
Live Judging Module: For managing teams, stations, prize categories, real-time score entry, and automated calculation of results during the live events.
The system must be configurable to adapt to changes in the number of teams, judges, and competition structure from year to year. It should allow multiple events to co-occur and preserve event history. In addition, it should be compatible with mobile devices, tablets, and computers.
