 AI Exam Marking Platform

The business is an AI exam marking platform where teachers can go to upload scans of their students' practice papers to get instant results and feedback. This saves teachers time and boosts student progression. I set up service because I witnessed first hand the struggle teachers go through with late nights marking and not giving students detailed feedback for their assessments. 

Thank you Emerge team for hosting the award and selecting us to win! I had a great time meeting the team and connecting with the other startups which helped me re-engage with the Sheffield start-up ecosystem and formed some hopeful lasting connections. I hope to use the prize money to bring our platform and technology to new schools within the UK and impact the lives of many teachers, smoothing workloads as well as 1000's of students who can learn better and receive improved feedback to drive their learning and progression.
