This is the final week of the AI for Impact Talent Program!

This week, we've focused on polishing the app by fixing a few minor bugs, commenting on the code, and cleaning up everything. We also sent an .apk file to the Swedish Red Cross in Umeå so they can install it on their Android devices. It’s incredibly exciting to see the app being used in the Red Cross’s operations, and we’re eagerly awaiting their feedback!

We also dedicated a lot of time to preparing our presentation and recording a demo. On Thursday, we had our final presentations, which was an incredibly rewarding experience! It was fascinating to hear about the other teams' projects—everyone did an outstanding job! After the presentations, we celebrated with some cake and then enjoyed a group dinner, which was the perfect way to conclude a fantastic summer.

In addition, we were filmed for a video that AI Sweden is producing about the program, which was a lot of fun!

Looking ahead, we have a few additional days set aside for a proper handover of the project to the Swedish Red Cross. We’ll be documenting how our code works to ensure a smooth transition for them to take over the app’s maintenance. We’ll also be giving a presentation to staff at various Red Cross offices to help spread the word about our app within the organization.

To wrap up this final post, we want to extend our thanks to AI Sweden for this incredible opportunity, to the Swedish Red Cross for their collaboration, and to all the other teams in the talent program for their inspiration! We are extremely grateful for this experience and have learned so much during the program.
