The Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Castelló hosted the DemoDay on Saturday 19 February to close the first edition of the Saturdays AI Castellón training course, an initiative supported by the UJI's Cuatroochenta Chair in Artificial Intelligence, Welfare and Health, in which students presented seven artificial intelligence projects with social impact developed during the course. LactIA, a chatbot to support breastfeeding, and Machine Orange, a system for the early detection of diseases in oranges, were the winners of this first edition.

Thanks to the help of volunteer mentors, the participating students have learned, during 14 Saturdays between October and February, how to apply artificial intelligence to technological solutions aimed at improving people's daily lives. All the projects developed have a social impact, are aligned with at least one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are published in the open source repository Github. For almost four months, the thirty participating students have acquired the necessary knowledge in machine learning to subsequently collaborate as a group and invent a technological solution to improve a social problem.

The closing event of the course took place in the auditorium of the University-Business Foundation of the UJI and was attended by the directors of the Cuatroochenta Chair, who participated in one of the initial sessions of the course and came to see the projects. The event was also attended by representatives of the local partners Cuatroochenta, Asociación de Big Data y Analytics (ANBAN), IOTSENS and Xarxatec.

The organisers hope to launch a second edition of Saturdays AI in Castelló to bring AI to more people and address deep learning techniques. The Saturdays AI programme was born in 2018 and has trained more than 3,000 people in 30 cities in Europe, Latin America, USA, Canada and Africa.
