Civil Society

The seminar we had with Democritus and SciFY surpassed any expectation we had. George and his team not only have a deep knowledge of the subject but also a unique way to explain complex technical issues into tangible and ready to use knowledge. With the help of the team we have explored the ways in which we can utilize –or indeed are already utilizing- AI in our line of work. We are already working to transfer this knowledge to our teams and are contemplating solutions we can adopt in the future.

The two-day seminar was a revelation for our team in the field of modern technology and the understanding of the interaction of “smart machines” with humans. We acquired the appropriate knowledge in a simple and comprehensible way, and the workshop was the trigger to understand the possibilities as well as the challenges of AI, especially regarding the possible applications in a non-profit organization. Through many everyday examples and practical solutions, SciFY’s presenters gave us the supplies to take a step forward into a new -or rather not so new- world!

“Finally, a free game accessible with switches. The children enjoy it independently from their abilities of cognition, perception, or mobility.” (For the game ‘Taxidiotes’ for children with disability)

Our participation as Save Your Hood in the “NGO Pioneers in Artificial Intelligence” project was an amazing opportunity to familiarize ourselves with AI technologies and use them to create solutions to address everyday challenges. With the guidance of the program team, we can now more confidently begin to design innovative ideas for the future that will bring us to our goals faster and more efficiently.

For four years, we have had a wonderful collaboration with SciFY in the context of programming courses for teenagers and adults. They have been professionals at all levels. By taking on a demanding group, they proved not only their knowledge of the subject being taught but also how a group should work from an educational and human standpoint. Paul (STEM professor) and the rest of the coworkers managed to develop a relationship of trust with the children, who always watched the class with great enthusiasm. The response to the requirements of the courses, as well as to our own questions, was immediate. In short, they were excellent.

In the five years of our cooperation with SciFY, we have received rave reviews from students and teachers, we have felt the emotion that the lecturer can feel when he receives the enthusiastic applause of the students, we have also experienced wonderful moments. In the five years of our cooperation, we have gained prestige – because you offer our place high-quality educational work, trust – because the students and the course are treated with respect. Thank you George, Vassilis, Pavlos, Danai and all the guys for your professionalism, knowledge, dedication to your work, continuous improvement and adaptation to developments!
