Black Tech Talent hosted the event to connect Minneapolis families with opportunities in tech, a field where Black Americans are largely underrepresented.

MINNEAPOLIS Saturday, the Minneapolis-based company Black Tech Talent hosted the first-ever Community TechFest. The event, held at Minneapolis College, featured demonstrations in robotics and virtual reality, aiming to connect BIPOC youth with opportunities in the technology industry.

According to a 2020 survey by Beam Jobs, Black Americans make up only 5% of employees in the technology industry nationwide. Mike Jackson, founder of Black Tech Talent, hopes to close the diversity gap.

"A lot of times, technology can be intimidating, especially to the Black community," Jackson said. "Theres things like impostor syndrome, theres things like accessibility."

Part of Jackson's company's mission is to create access to technology for parents and their children, "so that parents, even if theyre not in tech...can nurture their children and can understand what these career opportunities there are."

Leo Searcy, an eighth grader in the Minneapolis Public School district, said he came for the electronics.

"I'm a huge gaming nerd," Searcy said. "I love technology."

Searcy, 13, said he hopes to eventually turn his hobby into a career.

"I've just always wanted to make video games for other people," Searcy said. "Having Black people lead this kind of thing, it's like really awesome to me."

One of the organizations represented at Saturday's event wasMinnesota Esports Club, a nonprofit that promotes colleges scholarship and skill building through gaming.

"We provide coaching, we provide content creation, we provide community managers and support to have kids have a path to higher education through esports," said founder and executive director Peter Young.

Young said his organization partners with the Phyllis Wheatley Community Center and various metro parks and recreation departments to directly engage BIPOC youth in esports.

"A lot of the kids have not had access to the PCs, equipment, the consoles, everything they need to be successful in that endeavor," he said.

At the event Saturday, Black Tech Talent revealed a brand new super hero they spent months creating: Black Circuit. A video of the reveal is below.

Jackson said it's all part of his goal to curate a pipeline of job opportunities and create "culturally-specific content."

"Let people see representation of themselves at all levels," Jackson said. "Whether it's the consumer, the creator, or the visionary who puts together a team."

Britishvolt's LeCain sees EV batteries improving in the same way that the internal combustion engine improved over more than a century: incrementally. He said he believes there are plenty of gains to be made in making lithium ion batteries better. The company is working on technology that reduces the weight and size of the pack.

"Right now we're trying to take parts out, going from cell to chassis, using hard-cased prismatic cells that bear some of the weight and structure of the vehicle," LeCain said.

Britishvolt's first cells for the auto industry will be lithium ion, but the company is also investing in solid-state batteries. And unlike many other battery companies, its leadership team includes two auto industry veterans, both of whom have extensive powertrain backgrounds:

Although global automakers and battery companies are investing billions over the next nine years toward cell development, it's not clear whether a battery will ever hold as much energy as a gallon of gasoline or be as convenient to use.

A Chevrolet Silverado pickup, for example, has a 24-gallon fuel tank that can be refilled at most stations in about three minutes. Driven on the highway, the truck will get 21 mpg and travel around 504 miles before it needs more fuel. A full fuel tank in the Silverado weighs 146.4 pounds.

To get a driving range of 300 or more miles, the battery pack in electric vehicles has to be very large. A Tesla Model 3 with the long-range battery pack contains 4,410 cells and weighs more than 1,200 pounds; the EPA-estimated range is 358 miles. Even a compact Chevrolet Bolt's battery pack, with its range of 259 miles, weighs around 960 pounds.

And then there's the matter of charging times. For the roughly 80 percent of EV drivers who charge at home and don't exceed their vehicle's range, those long waits aren't usually a problem. But for those who need to use public chargers, wait times can be long, anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, once plugged in, to get reasonable range.

"Were combustion cars viable in 1950? Absolutely. People got to and from work every day. Are they better today than they were in 1950? Absolutely," said Renna. "You've had billions of R&D dollars and engineers working on making them better every day. Using that analogy, I think electric cars are viable today, and solid-state batteries have the potential to make them more viable in the future."

TheArizonaBoard of Regentshas approvednew, three-yearfundingproposals fromArizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizonathat will enable criticaltechnology and research advancementsthrough the Technology and Research Initiative Fund.

Established throughProp.301and utilizingsales tax revenues, TRIF funds vitalresearch inpublic health, water, national securitysystems, workforce development andother key areasat Arizonas public universities.TRIF delivers a tremendous return on investment for Arizona taxpayers. In FY 2021, the state invested $112.3 million in TRIF funds and in that same year, Arizonas public universities generated $465 million in TRIF-enabled research from the previous TRIF investment. Total TRIF revenue received to date since the inception of the program in June 2001 is well over a billion dollars.

Our universities are on the leading edge of innovative research and development that will benefit Arizona and the world long into the future, said ABOR Chair Lyndel Manson. These dollars will fund critical research that ensures ASU, NAU andUArizonato continue to act as problem-solvers and promote the long-term prosperity, health, security and strength of Arizona communities.

Based on the universitiesproposals, the board will distribute an annual base amount of TRIF revenues to the universities under the following allocations:

ASU: $32 million per year

NAU: $16 million per year

UA: $32 million per year

TRIF is a unique and vital revenue source established to advanceour university enterprises greatest mission: making Arizona more competitive in the global economy, saidRegent Fred DuVal,chair of the Research and Health Sciences Committee. We recognize this funding is made possible through sales tax dollars being spent in our state every day by the people of Arizona theyare our investors,and our universities areheldaccountable for their investmentby providinggroundbreaking research that drives direct, realsolutionsfor the citizens of Arizona.

Each university proposal focuses on five strategic research areas:Improving Health; Water, Environment and Energy Solutions; National Security Systems; Space Exploration and Optical Solutions; and Workforce Development.Highlights of the approved plans for each university include:
