RE student team wins top award at 'Codemania! III' competition

A team of RE students taking RE's Advanced Machine Learning and Data Structures & Algorithms courses earned the top award at the "Codemania! III" competition sponsored by the City of Coral Gables and the University of Miami. Jacob Aronow '26, Jaral Arroyo-Jefferson '25, Mia Escoto Cordova '25, Eduardo Michelsen '25 and Max Wolfensberger '26 earned the High School Award as well as the Sebastian Technology Award. They attended the event with faculty advisor David Nuñez Garcia.
Competing under the team name AiRE (Artificial Intelligence Ransom Everglades), the students pitched a large-language model, based on Microsoft’s Copilot, named IBIS (Intelligent Bot for Interactive Support). The team was tasked with creating an AI agent that improved the quality of life of Coral Gables residents, and AiRE aimed to do so via trolley data inferencing, crime data analysis, and the democratization of hurricane/flooding data.
