The prestigious Data Odyssey 2024, offering a platform for data science innovators to showcase their talents and shape the future of data science and communication. Among the standout finalists is Team GreenBYTE, a team of third-year undergraduates from General Sir John Kotelawala Defence University (KDU), whose project focuses on helping children with dysgraphia – a learning disability that impairs writing skills.

Team GreenBYTE’s AI-powered platform offers personalized and interactive writing assistance to children with dysgraphia. Through features like guided tracing exercises, handwriting recognition, and gamification, the platform helps children improve motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and letter formation. The solution also includes progress tracking, enabling parents and teachers to monitor a child’s development and adjust exercises as needed.

As Data Odyssey 2024 progresses, students from various backgrounds are engaging in technical sessions, workshops, and interactive exhibits. The event highlights data science’s potential to address critical global challenges, including social equity and healthcare innovation. The energy is palpable as participants demonstrate their projects while industry experts and faculty admire their creativity and technical mastery.
