Tyner Academy students tackled quantum computing, artificial intelligence and coding in a showcase of projects Tuesday in a class at the EPB Future Ready Institute of Technology and Networking.

“This is a first step toward major, broad things that we’re going to need across our community,” Michael Stone, a vice president at nonprofit Public Education Foundation, said at Tyner.

Basing their projects off a lesson last week from Qubitekk founder and President Duncan Earl, the students started with Google’s Teachable Machine, which allows users to train a computer to recognize images, sounds, and poses.

Tyner teacher John Paul Creel said some students quickly picked up the lesson.
