Student Voices
Emma Kowalski
Griffith University, Business Analytics"Working on the fraud detection algorithm was intense but rewarding. Our team's machine learning model actually caught patterns that traditional systems missed. Seeing our university project help real customers feel secure with their banking was incredible."
Siobhan O'Driscoll
UNSW Sydney, Computer Science"The accessibility project opened my eyes to inclusive design. We interviewed customers with disabilities and rebuilt the online banking interface from scratch. It taught me that good code isn't just functional—it needs to work for everyone."
