Kazakh school students will
participate in the Technovation Girls 2024 in the US’s Silicon Valley.
Eight-year-olds Aisha Yesset and Eva Zhurkina have created a mobile application
based on artificial intelligence that assists children with cochlear implants
in developing speech and hearing. Now, the schoolgirls will present their
invention in the competition’s final, where teenagers from 70 countries will
participate.
«We chose this field because we
have a friend named Ailin. She was born hearing-impaired, and at the age of two
or three, she underwent surgery on both ears to install cochlear implants.
Ailin is now seven years old,» said Aisha Yesset, finalist in the Technovation
Girls 2024 competition.
«Our application can help
children in Kazakhstan in the future. We also plan to launch it in Russian and
Kazakh languages,» Eva Zhurkina, finalist in the Technovation Girls 2024 competition,
said.
