AI for Education Hackathon
As AI rapidly shapes industries across all fields, it has become evident that there is a crucial gap between AI advancements and the ability of educational systems to incorporate AI into their curricula and practices.
To encourage social organizations to find innovative ways to address this gap, The Senser Foundation is proud to announce a unique opportunity for nonprofits to participate in an AI for Education Hackathon focused on the challenge:
