In this episode of the In Query, we discuss Machine Learning and Science Academy.

Jessica is a grade 12 student at Fraser Heights Secondary, concurrently taking computer science courses at a local university. Her passion for programming and artificial intelligence started growing when she started coding in grade 10. Jessica likes to channel her passion into projects, research, and contributions to the community! Outside of STEM, she loves songwriting, reading, and learning new musical instruments. Since today's youth makes up our future leaders, she believes it is crucial to encourage and nurture interest in computer science and AI. Jessica is always excited to work with teams towards amazing causes through experiences and collective visions for the field of AI and technology.
