University of Nebraska at Kearney students in Dr. Sherri Harms’ computer science and information systems artificial intelligence class presented a “Future Problem Solving Seminar on Artificial Intelligence” at the Phelps County Ag Center in Holdrege earlier this week.
Dr. Harms and her class presented three sessions to approximately 120 talented and gifted students, grades 4-12, in the ESU #11 service area who participate in the Future Problem Solving program. The presentations were sponsored by ESU #11.
