Five students from Fulham Cross Academy impressed judges in a European innovation challenge with technology that could improve how communities live together.
The young people created a digital platform that combines artificial intelligence with popular computer game, Minecraft, to help design better community spaces.
Their app uses computer programmes to create energy-efficient building layouts and tests how residents might interact with shared spaces before construction begins.
The idea was born out of a new council Pathway Bond initiative called ‘Hackathon’, where the borough’s students virtually competed alongside peers from Italy.
