Free programs designed to reach overlooked talent early and train them to build AI technologies with real societal impact - the foundational skills, mentorship, and build experience that close the gap before it becomes a career ceiling.
Mentorship
AI Career Accelerator
One-on-one mentorship pairing students with experienced mentors with AI experience that help them ship AI projects, build portfolios, and navigate the pathways into AI careers that are too often out of reach.
Fireside Chats
Monthly live sessions where STEM professionals share their unfiltered career journeys: how they broke into the industry, the mistakes they made, what they wished someone had told them at 15. These fireside chats are designed for students who don't have professionals in their network to ask these questions to. Each session features a speaker from our network of industry experts at companies like HRT, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, PayPal, and more, followed by an open Q&A where students can ask anything.
Workshops
Practical, hands-on sessions that teach the skills schools don't cover: the stuff that separates students who get opportunities from students who don't even know those opportunities exist. Each workshop is a focused deep dive on a specific skill, and is built so that students walk out with fresh ideas, new perspectives, and doors to opportunities they didn't have before.
