SKEMA students win two awards with Skesia, an AI-powered game designed to help middle schoolers improve in maths

The project won the AI & Students Innovation Prize awarded by Paris Ouest La Défense, thanks to a compelling pitch by MSc AIBT student Jeffrey Lima. He also secured second place at the Adobe Intern Summit in Bucharest, a creative challenge gathering Adobe interns from across the EMEA region.

A programme bridging AI and business management

The MSc AIBT is a distinctive programme designed to train future leaders to manage and drive transformation through artificial intelligence. Delivered in partnership with ESIEA, the programme combines technical training by engineers (algorithms, programming, AI infrastructure) with applied managerial teaching delivered by SKEMA faculty (AI project management, business use cases, data strategy).

It covers cutting-edge technologies such as machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing (NLP), cloud computing, AI ethics and prompt engineering.

The course can be completed in one or two years, with eight months of academic learning followed by a professional project or research assignment. Students also benefit from practical collaborations with companies such as Microsoft, preparation for the AgilePM® certification, access to an international ecosystem of events and study trips, and individualised support for dual projects (sport, art, entrepreneurship, etc.), as well as career coaching through SKEMA Talent & Careers.

This double recognition for Skesia showcases how the programme equips students to apply AI meaningfully, creatively, and with measurable impact.
