For brAIn_waves, from RTÉ Learn and Microsoft Dream Space, we asked you to harness all your learning from the Dream Space TV: brAIn_waves series to create and submit your team's AI for Good solution.
We were blown away by what we received - from incentivising us to reduce our carbon footprint to efficient traffic management, and student wellbeing tools to cleaning up our oceans. However, we can now finally reveal our top 5 finalists PLUS the AI for Good submissions that were highly commended!
