WAICY 2020
At Coding and More, we like to create an awareness around understanding Artificial Intelligence and how to use the technology to solve issues in our society.
One of the initiatives our children participated and won awards in was the World Artificial intelligence Competition for the Youth (WAICY) 2020. The WAICY is a prestigious competition for young children supported by educators at Carnegie Mellon University. Participants from various countries showcase their AI solution to solve real world problems.
In the Junior and Middle School category our children won the Bronze Award for their AI solution.
