At Dell InnovateFest 2024, held on 26 September at the National Gallery of Singapore, Team SocialPilots from Singapore Polytechnic secured the First Runner-Up position in the Hackathon, winning $6,000.

Team SocialPilots developed Bloom, a cloud-native web app with an intuitive AI assistant. The team members are:
Bloom is designed to help PWIDs navigate workplace challenges by providing solutions, emotion-management videos, and enhancing essential skills like independence and emotional regulation. The app's gamified feature allows users to grow a virtual plant as they interact with the app, symbolizing their progress and development. Just like a flower in full bloom, users can grow, thrive, and confidently embrace the world around them.
