The EPB Future Ready Institute of Technology and Networking at Tyner Academy showcased the creations of 12 students who built “Friendship Detectors” using machine learning technology on Tuesday. As part of the six-week-long World Quantum Day observance, these students presented their innovative projects to an audience.
EPB’s J. Ed Marston expressed that they have been a sponsor and participant in the curriculum at Tyner Academy. Their main goal is to bridge the gap between the development of new technology that Chattanooga can contribute to economically and ensuring that there is a skilled workforce available to take on these jobs. Marston emphasized the importance of nurturing both young and older individuals with the necessary technology skills for future job opportunities in the quantum industry.
Marston highlighted that the focus is on helping children develop essential technology skills that will prepare them for jobs in the quantum industry. By providing educational opportunities like this showcase, students are able to apply their knowledge of machine learning and other tech-related skills in real-world scenarios. This hands-on experience helps to prepare them for future job opportunities in the ever-evolving technology industry.
