AI BLITZ ⚡️ 7 CHALLENGE INTRO

ARE YOU READY FOR A SPACE ADVENTURE? 🚀

We have joined the race to M.A.R.S in this AI Blitz ⚡️ 

Our solar system neighbour has caught the attention of astronomers and story-tellers for centuries. Be it, Matt Damon, in The Martian, trying to grow potatoes or the classic video game Doom ft. a rescue mission on Mars -- the Red planet has always been a centre of mystery and “curiosity” for Earthlings.

To answer the question “Are we alone in this universe?” scientists at NASA created and send a rover to Mars. The latest one, Perseverance, is one of the finest pieces of space technology to have reached the planet. To honour the hard work and “perseverance” of various scientists at the Mars Science Laboratory at NASA – we present you a space themed AI Blitz 7 ⚡️

So, if you ever wanted to be a brave astronaut and explore outer space or you’re just a curious cat (Ham the chimp) wanting to use AI for space images – this is your time to shine! 

With a lot of love and attention, we have created 5 easy + engaging space themes AI Puzzles around the Mars Perseverance Rover. Just like a brave space explorer, we have equipped you with a toolbelt – a starter-kit that will help you solve these puzzles.

So, buckle your seat-belts, check the oxygen control and get ready to take off! 🚀

TASKS FROM MISSION CONTROL FOR BLITZ 7 ⚡️

1. Rover Classification: Before we can take off we must resolve a mix-up. Someone has mishandled the labelling of two Mars rover projects — Curiosity and Perseverance — we must classify them correctly. Click here to avert the emergency!
2. Debris Detection: You’ve taken off but now you’re encountering a large belt of space debris! You must use the tools of object detection to box this debris so you can safely take your rover to Mars. Know more about the problem.
3. Rotation Prediction: You’re almost there! But there’s one small problem — you need to know the planet’s rotation before you land. Using the ML approach, you can predict the Mars planet rotation! Click here to access your toolkit.
4. Stage Prediction: Your journey of 234.65 million km is about to end, you’re ready to land! But the dashboard is malfunctioning and you don’t know what stage the spacecraft is in. Create a model to solve the problem. Click here to know more.
5. Image Correction: It’s a touchdown! You’re on the planet of Mars! Time to click some pictures and share the data with your fellow scientists - but the data is getting corrupted. Solve this by correcting the images. Access the starter-kit and more.
