ICYMI: The Edison Awards and Horizon Foundation Lee County is hosting an Artificial Intelligence (AI) + Human Intelligence (HI) Innovation Challenge for high school students. This challenge will leverage Solvably's new AI Center of Excellence for K12. Students will be grouped in teams of 3-5 to collaborate on the creation of a solution to the following challenge prompt: “Lee County has a booming job market but not enough workers! Students’ mission, should they choose to accept it, will be to create an innovative AI-driven solution to help small businesses and critical sectors like healthcare, logistics, construction, manufacturing, and education, bridge the workforce education gap through recruitment, upskilling, automation, and optimized workforce planning.” Community leaders will review the top projects with the first, second, and third place teams winning cash awards, and the winning team being honored at the Edison Awards to be held in Southwest Florida in Spring 2025. Lee County Economic Development Office and CareerSource Southwest Florida also support this challenge. It is pretty cool to see one of SWFL's very own EdTech startups involved in this way. Woot! Woot! We can't wait to see what the students come up with! Guido Minaya, MBA, Ed.D., Angelo Biasi, Minaya Learning Global Solutions LLC, Solvably, Frank Bonafilia, Rob Manes, THE AI SHOW @ ASU+GSV
