Challenges

A challenge creates useful constraints; it does not define a learner’s worth.

BIAA challenge formats are designed to support teamwork, iteration and communication. They do not imply affiliation with an external competition or guarantee awards.

Challenge availability and schedules must be confirmed before registration is offered.

01
BIAA / BRIEF

What a challenge brief should contain

A clear brief states the context, task, constraints, safety boundaries, available resources, evidence required and how work will be reviewed. Deliberate openness leaves room for more than one valid response.

02
BIAA / ROLES

Teams need technical and non-technical roles

Planning, research, building, coding, testing, documentation and presentation all contribute. Rotating roles helps prevent one confident learner from owning the entire project.

03
BIAA / REVIEW

Review the process as well as performance

A challenge review considers the quality of reasoning, test evidence, collaboration, communication and responsible practice. External event rules apply only when separately confirmed.
