Check Your Eligibility and Build Your Team

To participate in the Maarif Innov Projects, it is essential to meet the eligibility criteria and properly structure your team. Here are the detailed steps:

Check Your Eligibility: The competition is open to:

• High school students at Maarif schools in Africa and high school students in Ivory Coast

Educational Level: You must be enrolled in secondary education (high school).
Age: Participants must be between 14 and 20 years old.

Form Your Team:

• Number of Participants Per Team: Each team must consist of 1 to 3 students.
• One Team Per School: If multiple groups wish to participate, the school must organize an internal selection to determine the best team to represent the institution.

Choose a Mentor: Your team must be supported by a teacher or academic advisor as a mentor.
The mentor will play a key role in:
