The newly formed group plans 4,000 learning activities about quantum before the end of May.

The awards will include up to $500,000 in subcontract funding and up to $3,500,000 in the form of in-depth technical assistance from one or more national laboratories.

First event was held last Friday, the final activity is April 26.

The idea taking first place and $5,000 also captured the votes of the pitch event attendees.

A key milestone through May is to identify the appropriate individual who can serve as the GAME Change Chief Executive Officer.

The event will enable UTK entrepreneurs (students and alumni) to selling their products or services and show off their businesses in a real marketplace setting.

Ten of the Volunteer State's top start-ups will be featured over two days during events at the Electric Shuffle Austin.

Key areas of planned growth are Karns, Gibbs, Powell, deep into East Knoxville, and some parts of South Knoxville by the river.
