Next up: MYLO Speech Buddy

💡 What does your startup do?

Mylo Speech Buddy is a speech development app for children with speech delays. Founder Vince Rocha built it after waiting two years to find a clinician for his son. Mylo is a streaming app with a structured curriculum that guides children through easy, repetitive activities at home — from basic words like "mama" and "papa" to phrases and full sentences. The goal is to help at least a million kids globally.

💡 What problems does it solve?

Globally, families face long waiting times to access speech clinicians. Mylo bridges that gap by giving parents and teachers simple, consistent activities to do with their children at home, so kids can already start developing their speech while waiting for professional help.

Next up: Nasu EDU

💡 What does your startup do?

Nasu Edu builds Nasu AI — a safe, school-controlled AI tutor and AI literacy platform for primary schools.

💡 What problems does it solve?

AI is already becoming part of children’s learning, but many students use it without guidance, safeguards, or a clear understanding of how it works. Nasu helps schools bring AI into learning safely, pedagogically, and fairly — while supporting teachers with different learning needs in the classroom.

Finnish Learning Awards lunasti odotukset ja antoi oppimiselle näyttämön ✨

💙 Vaikka tapahtumasta on vasta muutamia päiviä, illan tunnelma on edelleen vahvasti mielessä. Oli inspiroivaa nähdä saman katon alla niin paljon ihmisiä, joita yhdistää halu kehittää oppimista, työelämää ja tulevaisuuden osaamista.

📣 Erityisen hienoa on ollut huomata myös se, miten paljon tapahtuma on herättänyt ajatuksia ja keskustelua vielä tapahtuman jälkeenkin. Jaetut kuvat, julkaisut ja kommentit kertovat siitä, että tällaiselle yhteiselle kohtaamiselle ja oppimisen ympärille rakentuvalle tapahtumalle on selvästi ollut tarvetta ja kysyntää.

🙌 Iso kiitos vielä tapahtuman järjestäjille — Skille ja Helsinki Education Hub — jotka onnistuivat tuomaan yhteen ihmisiä yli organisaatiorajojen — sekä kaikille osallistujille, tuomareille, finalisteille ja voittajille!

Ensi vuonna uudestaan, eikö?

Next up: better-ed AI

💡 What does your startup do?

better-ed is a conversational AI assessment platform that gives teachers real visibility into how students think — not just the answers they submit.

💡 What problems does it solve?

As generative AI makes it easier than ever for students to produce polished answers without genuine understanding, schools are left with a critical blind spot: they can't tell who actually learned something. Better-ed closes that gap by running oral-style assessment conversations at scale — the AI asks the follow-up questions, probes the reasoning, and surfaces what a student truly knows. It's built for the reality of today's classrooms, where the question isn't whether students use AI, but whether schools can still see through it.
