In September, Experis Academy hosted its inaugural AI for a Better Tomorrow Hackathon, where our talented consultants put their AI skills to work. The hackathon started with four weeks of instructor-guided upskilling in technologies such as Microsoft Power Platform, Power BI, AI Integration, Prompt Engineering and Generative AI. Armed with the knowledge gained through Experis Academy, participants tackled real-world challenges with creative, AI-powered solutions.
Introducing the Top Three Projects and Their Innovators:
Michael V. – AI Meets the NFL
Michael’s project leveraged the power of AI in sports analytics leading to more informed decision-making and enhanced fan experience.
“I was concerned about how AI would replace someone like me. And I've actually found during this project how it will help me immensely going forward with learning how to coexist with AI and understanding how it can help me process, collect and analyze information quicker and then build effective data visualizations, which will help users make informed appropriate business decisions.”
Ravi S. – Food Calorie Cost App
Ravi’s app combines AI, data visualization, and prompt engineering to create personalized, budget-friendly meal plans.
"The Food Calorie Cost App is a step forward in empowering individuals to balance nutrition and budget effortlessly. By leveraging AI, data visualization, and prompt engineering, this app tailors food choices to individual needs, ensuring that healthy eating is accessible and affordable across age groups. It’s a tool for smarter, healthier, and more mindful decisions—one meal at a time."
Michael S. – Building a Better Smart Home with AI
Michael’s project explored how AI can transform everyday living through smarter, more intuitive home automation.
“To pick up a new technology effectively, you need a task or goal in mind to practice the skills. The Hackathon offered just that by laying out the tools and knowledge, then setting a goal to actually create something new.”
Congratulations to our three winners!
