We are thrilled to announce 📢🗣️ that our students have secured their spot in the 2023 🏆World Championship!

Their innovation - TAWI - is a home-based software app that helps children with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) improve their auditory skills. It includes noise cancellation, sound amplification, speech-to-text conversion, and auditory training exercises, making it simpler for them to converse and interact with others.

They have proven themselves as top contenders in the tech world and we couldn't be more proud. Wishing them all the best as they represent us on the global stage!
