Financial Intelligence – 6 points (This criterion evaluates how participants plan and develop the project from an efficient economic perspective. The evaluation covers methods and techniques for cost optimization during both the building and usage phases of the robot. For example, a participant may highlight the use of recycled materials for the robot’s structure, choosing components based on market price analysis, focusing on energy efficiency, and estimating long-term operating costs. If the project has practical applications, it is recommended to present potential economic benefits, such as marketing the product in an entrepreneurial context through cost reduction. To meet this requirement, participants must access the platform https://www.lifelab.ro/ and specify in their video pitch the title of the completed lesson.)
