On June 18th, a team of PhD students at our lab (Andrij David, Ivan Čík, Lukáš Hruška, Fouzia Adjailia) won Microsoft’s AI Guardians competition.

The next AI Guardians competition challenges students, researchers, and professors from universities across Europe to solve the global education problem using Artificial Intelligence. Due to safety concerns, this year’s edition took place online via a Teams group call. The competition resulted in the implementation of creative solutions for students, researchers, and teachers in the field of education based on AI technology.

The idea of our team (Eduka) focused on education. We provide educators state-of-the-art technology to improve their teaching. This tool helps instructors understand how to engage their pupils. Hence by using the latest scientific advancements, we enhance education.​ Therefore we help every student to reach their highest potential.

All over Europe, only 6 promising teams made it for the final round. We went head to head as each of these 6 finalist teams tried to sell their idea to Microsoft’s panel of specialists. What ensued was an impressive display of competitive zeal, as each group was well-prepared to make a stand in the Shark Tank Pitch. All these teams delivered highly powerful presentations, and everyone did not shy away from answering some of the challenging questions from the judges. But in the end, after a challenging battle, our team won this year’s edition.
