This year, Ukraine is participating for the first time in the international hackathon Teens in AI, which takes place in more than 40 countries around the world. Last weekend, the national stage of the competition took place, in which 10 teams of schoolchildren presented their own ideas on how to use AI to solve global problems.
“Artificial intelligence is a challenge that needs to be worked on, and Ukraine is already actively integrating into this trend. This year, our country took part for the first time in the Teens in AI hackathon, which takes place in more than 40 countries around the world. We entered the top 3 in terms of the number of people willing to join the hackathon. Teams of schoolchildren created ten AI-based products from scratch in 2 days, which can be further developed and launched as full-fledged startups. I am confident that our youth have every chance to lead the trend of introducing artificial intelligence, create revolutionary projects that can solve global problems and influence our future,” said Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov.
Ukrainian schoolchildren presented various projects, in particular, solutions to combat cyberbullying, chatbots for planning schoolchildren’s time and preparing for exams, as well as AI assistants for analyzing physical and psychological states. For example, students proposed apps for military personnel and veterans with PTSD, AI sign language interpreters for teenagers with hearing loss, and educational apps. Some teams even presented prototypes of their AI products.
The team from Kyiv won the hackathon, which developed ConnectAbility, an AI-based application for learning sign language. It can recognize and voice the gestures of a person with hearing loss, acting as an online translator. Next, the ConnectAbility project will take part in the selection for the international stage of the hackathon. Only 5 teams will advance to the international finals of the competition, chosen from more than 40 participating countries.
