Many congratulations to students Veron, Lucy, Dorcas, and Martin on winning the GRAILS 2026 competition in Denmark! 🎉

GRAILS (Global Responsible AI League for Students) is an annual international competition that challenges students to develop AI solutions focused on ethical, responsible, and sustainable impact.
