Unlocking The Full Potential of Women & BIPOC Youth Worldwide.
The impact of world changing technology such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has the power to become a great equalizer in education and a key differentiator for institutions, businesses and governments that embrace it. Technology is significantly transforming the way we work and live. We believe that marginalized communities should not be excluded from the opportunities that these changes create.
