Conceptualised at a never-before scale, the quiz show will reach out to 13,000-plus schools across India hosting the initial on-ground round, targeting 25 lakh students in the age-group of 8 to 14 years. After a strict funneling process, the top teams from across States will qualify for the 6-episode TV quiz show which will premiere on Discovery channel and Discovery Kids starting February 2019. The winners will get a special prize of an all-expense paid trip to NASA.
Mrinal Mohit, COO, BYJU’S, said, “We are excited with the response the quiz has generated. It is becoming bigger with each passing day. I wish all the students from Delhi all the very best.”
Programme on AI/ML
The IIIT-Hyderabad Machine Learning Lab and TalentSprint have entered into an agreement with NASSCOM’s Centre of Excellence for Data Science & Artificial Intelligence (CoE-DSAI) based in Bengaluru as an ecosystem knowledge partner. This association will support NASSCOM’s initiative of creating AI/ML expertise among Indian IT Professionals.
As traditional, IT roles vanish, companies are betting big on AI and other deep tech areas to further growth. By 2021, approximately 75% of enterprise applications will use AI according to a report by IDC. Currently only 1% of the IT workforce has AI expertise.
