December 2018 – Exploration Space

It was a real privilege being a small part of this event. The “AI Hack For Good” event was all about using AI to do something positive for social good.

It was also great fun being a mentor and helping to enable teams to complete their solutions using whichever technology they chose. (.NET, Java, PHP, Python, JavaScript, Swift, Kotlin)
