On Tuesday, students at Tyner Academy had the chance to showcase their innovative creations built with machine learning technology as part of the six-week-long World Quantum Day observance. Twelve students from EPB’s Future Ready Institute of Technology and Networking at Tyner Academy presented their “Friendship Detectors,” which were created using cutting-edge machine learning technology.
EPB’s J. Ed Marston emphasized that their primary goal is to bridge the gap between Chattanooga’s technological advancements and the need for a skilled workforce to take on these jobs. He highlighted that this collaboration with Tyner Academy aims to provide children with the necessary technology skills needed for future job opportunities in the quantum industry.
Marston also expressed his importance of nurturing both young and older individuals with these skills, stating that this focus is essential for preparing them for jobs in an ever-evolving technology industry. By providing educational opportunities like the showcase at Tyner Academy, students are able to apply their knowledge of machine learning and other tech-related skills in real-world scenarios, which prepares them for future job opportunities in this field.
Overall, EPB’s Future Ready Institute of Technology and Networking at Tyner Academy plays a vital role in ensuring that our younger generation has access to cutting-edge technology skills needed for future job opportunities in the quantum industry. Through events like this showcase, we can help bridge the gap between Chattanooga’s technological advancements and our workforce’s ability to take on these jobs.
