BUILDING A HEALTHIER FUTURE OF OPPORTUNITIES

Velosa, Alexandra kudos icon + Velosa, Alexandra
Every year the dream of hundreds of kids get frustrated by not having a chance to follow their passion and become a doctor in the city of Calgary. With limited spaces in the university, students are being discouraged even if they follow all the recommendations (volunteer hours, job related, academic excellence) As the city grows the demand for professional care does too. However, the school of medicine has not grown at... more »
What will change for Calgarians if we solve this problem? (Measurable)

We will be giving youth an opportunity to make their dreams come true and follow their passion. We will generate a bigger work force of locally trained doctors making a huge impact in the society.

How could we make it happen with technology or data? (Attainable)

We need to invest in building a bigger facility to study Medicine in Calgary to be able to offer more spots and opportunities for youth interested in the field. Students should be given any tools needed to ensure that they can continue their path.

Invest in AI Education - Start now before it's too late!

Lewicki, Ken kudos icon + Lewicki, Ken
In China, the government has invested $1 billion on an Artificial Intelligence (AI) research park.
AI is going to play an enormous part of our future. My suggestion is to give grants to AI programs offered by colleges, universities, etc...

Why is this an ambitious idea?

If we wait five years to invest in AI graduates, it'll be too late. Don't leave it to the schools to come up with the program fees. Tell them to start the programs and have the city pay for most of it, charging the students a nominal fee. Keep the standards high allowing only the best and brightest students to be accepted. The AI program is different from any other programs in that it needs to be singled out and given more funding. The bottom line is the program needs to be affordable for most Canadians.
Calgary cannot wait or we'll be left behind as other cities worldwide are already investing in AI education for its citizens.

How do we measure the effectiveness of this idea?

Calgary can study other cities to find out how they are measuring the effectiveness of their AI education. Do this quick and start implementing a strategy as the "golden opportunity" is going to pass soon.

How is this idea attainable through the use of technology or data?

Technology will be a collaborative effort between the city and the education centers to provide state-of-the-art facilities whereby students can thrive in innovating AI. Students will have to utilize cutting-edge technology create the most advanced AI possible.
