UNEATLANTICO in the Talent Tour
Within the activities programmed in the framework of the Tour del Talento, the European University of the Atlantic has contributed with the realization and participation of two activities.
In this line, the workshop “Turn your ideas into solutions with Power Platform and Artificial Intelligence” took place in the computer classrooms of UNEATLANTICO. The workshop, led by experts in the field, aimed to provide participants with the necessary skills to use cutting-edge technological tools such as Power Platform within the framework of Artificial Intelligence. Our students had the opportunity to become familiar with these tools and understand their potential for problem solving in various fields. The workshop was carried out as part of the university’s commitment to the integral and updated training of its students in emerging technologies.
