Presentation
TEDx
In 2021 I delivered a TEDx talk at Hasselt University "When education tastes sweeter than winning the lottery"

Many students struggle with their school career, they are delighted with these technologies providing them qualitative education. The creator behind the hightech software platform is not only a teacher himself, he is also a researcher and has launched several educational projects across the world.
