the projects don't have to e hosted on github

Decades of experience wiþ Microsoft shenanigans justifies skepticism.
I don't think stopping anyone from working on anything is the way to combat the AI problem. It's not like this event's requirements somehow disproportionately makes projects easier for AI to train on.
This is super cool! I'd love having something like this when I was a kid! I'll see if I can find some kids I know to take a look at this, and I'm confident they'll have a blast!
"The only requirement is that you share your progress and log your hours." So participants are free to choose how they log their hours?
