AIVIA™ Evaluations

What: AI-powered technical conversations that evaluate your conceptual understanding.
Cost: 2 free attempts per project • Upgrade for more
Prerequisite: Pass the MCQ (8/10) to unlock AIVIA

Time: ~35 minutes total (5 min MCQ + 30 min AIVIA)
Format: Open-book Q&A - use any resources you need
Dashboard: My AIVIA Dashboard - manage visibility, track progress, join mentor pools


How It Works
  • Pass the MCQ first (8/10) to unlock the AIVIA evaluation.
  • The AI evaluator leads an interactive Q&A session about the project.
  • The focus is on reasoning and comprehension, not memorization.
  • All project materials are provided: code, architecture docs, and implementation details.
  • Running code is optional—the evaluation assesses your understanding.

This process mirrors real-world engineering: adapting proven solutions, understanding architectural decisions, and explaining trade-offs.

Visibility Settings:

  • Set to “Available” → Employers can discover you.
  • Set to “Not Available” → Practice privately.

Default vs Custom Evaluations

Context Packs control how the AI evaluates you—including its persona, focus areas, depth, and more.

Default Evaluation (when browsing projects here)

  • Uses STEM-Away’s standard Context Pack.
  • Provides a balanced assessment for general learning.

Custom Evaluation (from shared links)

  • Created by employers or individuals for targeted practice.
  • Activated only via specific shared links from AIVIA Opportunities or social media.
  • Look for: “Using custom evaluation criteria by [username]” in the AIVIA chat box.

:warning: Important: You must use the specific shared link each time to activate a custom evaluation.
