Bioresource Strategist

We have a mission to create a growing medium with a far lower environmental footprint than the status quo peat based growing mediums. We want to accomplish this by using Typha or Cattails that absorb agricultural and human waste nutrient pollutants from watersheds, mitigating eutrophication downstream in lakes and other water bodies. Harvesting and repurposing Typha has been shown to successfully remove significant amounts of pollutant N and P from water systems by taking it out of the system. While importantly, harvested wetlands have also been shown to continue to grow to great health year after year. We currently have access to a constructed wetland which can supply us enough Typha for at least the next year. Although we will need to expand our harvesting operations as business grows. There is an estimated 3-6 million tonnes of Typha available to be harvested annually in Manitoba and we would like to harvest at maximum, a tenth of that in the future. Much of this harvestable Typha is on crown land, private farms, and municipal property. We would like you to come up with and report on strategies necessary to reach this harvesting goal at a low cost and with minimal negative effect on the environment.

AI and Gamification Integration for an Exam Prep Platform

Test Run, an innovative company specializing in practice exam platforms, seeks to enhance its user experience by integrating AI and gamification elements. The goal is to explore and implement AI technologies that can personalize the experiences for administrators (e.g. writing questions), or users (e.g. providing adaptive feedback and tailored practice questions based on user performance). Additionally, the project aims to incorporate gamification strategies to increase user engagement and motivation. This involves designing game-like elements (such as streaks, badges, and leaderboards and competitions with other users) to make the learning process more interactive and enjoyable. The project will require a thorough analysis of current platform capabilities, identification of suitable AI tools, and development of a gamification plan that aligns with educational objectives. The ultimate aim is to create a more dynamic and effective learning environment for users.
