It sounds like you’re writing a Hackathon or startup submission for your project Alix, an AI tool designed to prevent harassment and domestic violence in schools. Here’s a polished draft of your project presentation structured around the standard sections you mentioned.
Inspiration Each year, thousands of children face bullying, harassment, or domestic violence without ever speaking up. Many teachers and administrators lack the resources to identify early warning signs. We created Alix to equip schools with a discreet, data-driven tool that helps detect distress signals among students — before situations escalate.
What it does Alix uses psychological questionnaires inspired by the validated Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire (OBVQ-R) to collect structured data from students. The platform’s AI analyzes patterns and emotional cues to build a behavioral profile for each student and alerts the educational team when risk indicators appear. Over time, Alix refines its analysis to detect early signs of psychological distress, including potential sexual or physical abuse.
How we built it We developed Alix with:
A secure web interface for students and school staff.
An AI model trained on anonymized datasets to identify distress patterns.
A backend system compliant with GDPR standards to ensure privacy and data security.
Customizable questionnaires adapted to different school levels and demographics.
Challenges we ran into Ensuring ethical handling of sensitive psychological data.
Maintaining a balance between privacy and effective detection.
Adapting validated psychological tools like the OBVQ-R to a digital and scalable format.
Building trust with schools and educators for pilot adoption.
Accomplishments that we're proud of A prototype ready for deployment in primary schools.
Partnerships discussions with education professionals and psychologists.
Scalable pricing model:
€99/month for schools with fewer than 200 students.
€149/month for schools with more than 200 students.
Potential reach: 36,000 primary schools and over 720,000 students in the French market alone.
What we learned Data ethics is not optional — it must be integrated into every development step.
Teachers need not more data, but clear insights they can act upon.
Even simple behavioral indicators can reveal deep social issues when analyzed contextually.
What's next for Alix Expand to secondary schools and high schools.
Deepen AI-based psychometric profiling to detect subtle patterns associated with unreported abuse.
Strengthen partnerships with ministries of education and child protection organizations.
Integrate real-time dashboards and actionable recommendation systems for educators.
