The Curiosity Cup

You have signed up for this years edition but now you are wondering what the jury is expecting from your paper? Well, first of all you will receive a MS-Word-template which you have to use. It comes with detailed instructions. Once you have finished your paper make sure you did the following steps before you submit:   1) convert your finished paper in a pdf-file 2) create an anonymized version that contains only your team name (not the university nor your names), and don't forget to delete any data in the "Acknowledgment"-section that would give hints who you are. This is the version the jury will receive 3) convert that also in the pdf-format 4) submit both papers to curiositycup@sas.com   You will receive a mail if your paper has been accepted, and also information how to claim your digital badge from Credly.   We thought it might be useful to have examples from the last edition, so please find attached the papers from the 2023 winning teams.   So: have fun and work hard  😀 ...

Congratulations to the best 10 #teams! You have made it to the final round where you need to share a video presentation of your project.   All other teams: don’t be sad!  You were part of it, and we hope you have learned a lot and also had some fun. Next year there will be another edition and the chance for you to compete if you are still a student then.   We really appreciated the creative and funny input some teams gave: several papers about wine quality and tasting, speed dating, or comparing the patterns of alcohol pack size preferences between urban and rural residents in Iowa. There was a team "Left Twix" and I can tell you, we were sad that "Right Twix" did not register. Within the next days all teams will get a mail with your score and the sub-scores per category, comments from the jury and of course the instruction how to apply for your participant badge ...
