AI Driven Review of Hobby Showcases at Provn

What You'll Be Doing

A growing online hobby community wants to use AI tools to help volunteer moderators highlight the most inspiring and educational hobby project showcases for their weekly featured collection. As someone interested in AI/ML, you'll learn to work alongside AI tools to build simple but effective systems that assist (not replace) human curation, ensuring diverse voices and projects get recognized fairly.

Challenge #1: AI-Powered Curation System (20 minutes)

Deliverable:

AI Collaboration Documentation - Your conversation with AI about building fair showcase selection
Curation Framework - Simple system developed with AI assistance for identifying valuable community content
Video (<10min) - Demonstration of your solution and thought process

Challenge #2: AI-Powered Fairness Problem Solving (10 minutes)

Fairness Challenge: A hobby showcase features excellent technique and creativity, but the creator is soft-spoken in their explanation video and doesn't use technical terminology. Meanwhile, another showcase has flashy presentation but less educational value. Community moderators are unsure how to fairly evaluate these different presentation styles without bias.

Work with AI to develop a fair evaluation approach that considers:

Different communication styles and comfort levels
Educational value vs. presentation polish
Accessibility for learners with different backgrounds
Cultural and linguistic diversity in the community

Show Your Work: Document your conversation with AI and explain:

Which AI suggestions were most helpful for addressing bias and why
What you learned about fairness in AI-assisted curation systems
How you would explain your approach to community volunteers without technical backgrounds
What questions you still have about AI-assisted content curation

Deliverables

AI Collaboration Log - Your conversation with AI and key learnings about fair showcase selection
Fair Evaluation Framework - Bias-aware approach developed with AI assistance
Community Guidelines - Simple explanation for volunteer moderators on implementing fair curation
Video (< 10min) - Explain your approach to non-technical community members, what you learned about AI fairness, and remaining questions about AI-assisted community curation

Bonus Points:

Creative use of AI to identify overlooked forms of bias in content curation
Thoughtful consideration of diverse community member needs and communication styles
Evidence of understanding how AI tools can both help and harm community inclusivity
Innovative approaches to balancing different types of valuable contributions

Challenge Guidelines
