At our hackathon Arctic Challenge 2017, the student group Percomm 1 took on a challenge from Tieto. They developed a facial recognition solution for automatic attendance registration at school. They won first prize for their solution.
The municipality of Skellefteå then continued this at Anderstorpsgymnasiet, but was reprimanded for violating the GDPR.
Team Nordcoders at Arctic Challenge 2021 took up a challenge from a teacher. The challenge was to measure the noise level in classrooms and preschools, and detect if it was directly harmful, or had a long-term impact on students and staff. The group used a sound sensor and compared the sound level to harmful or annoying levels, and also used artificial intelligence to distinguish between different types of sound, e.g. song from scream. They also received first prize for their solution.
