*Encode: This round features 6 posters by high school and CEGEP students who participated in the Encode Canada Youth Research Fellowship. Encode Canada is a youth organization advocating for equitable AI for all. Working in teams and supported by an experienced research mentor, these fellows selected an AI-related topic, met regularly to deepen their understanding, and shared findings with one another. The fellowship aims to foster the creative and collaborative skills increasingly vital in the age of AI, while encouraging a critical and structured exploration of AI-related subjects.
