The event also sought to inspire female high school students to pursue a career within science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) through inspirational sessions by UiT researchers. VI researchers Samuel Kuttner and Christian Salomonsen gave a teaching lesson on AI and its applications within medical imaging.

The lesson consisted of an introductory presentation on AI and medical imaging and group sessions where students could try out various AI-related games.
