The team has been awarded the Social Media Award.
University startups championship takes place over five years. The top 40 university startups, including the KNURE team, went to the finals in Copenhagen.
Function #USWC2019 – on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The Sounce project implements the objectives of one of the SDGs – goal number 10 – Overcoming inequality in society.
Below you can learn more about the development.
Work on the project began with AI Hackthon, where the team of Anna Vozgriva, Elvira Isaeva, Stepan Titarenko and Valentin Yukhimenko came up with the idea for the Sounce project. There they took one of the prizes, and then began active work on a sign language recognition program. And now we see a grandiose result – the team was awarded the Social Media Award.
All this became possible with the support of TechTalents (Alexander Medovoy, Dmitry Sviribilov), organizers of AI Hackathon (Anastasia Deineko, Alexandra Nikolashin), Synergy Scientific Park (Victoria Tzokota) and Associate Professor of the Department of PE Alexey Turuta.
