STEAM in AI Mentor
About the Program
DataEthics4All Foundation’s STEAM in AI Research & Build College Prep Program matches a high school student with a College student for 1:1 Experiential Learning & Career Mentoring in Data Science, AI & STEAM that they’d perhaps pursue as a career.
The program is designed for students thinking about STEAM careers such as Medicine or Engineering but also for careers in Business, Arts, Music, History, Physiology, Social Sciences, Policy and more because technology is going to intersect with all of those fields even more so in the future.
We’ve designed this Program to equip students with the skills they need for jobs that don’t exist today whether or not they consider themselves as Math or Coding Champions.
This is a great opportunity for high school students to sign up as a Mentee, learn about new nonlinear STEAM careers, get practical experience through a hands-on project in research, work with datasets or build an application and boost their profile for college applications.
DataEthics4All Foundation is on a mission to break barriers of entry in Tech for Girls, People of Color and the economically disadvantaged and offers need based scholarships so students can take advantage of the program 100% free.
We're helping high school students explore STEAM and AI Career Pathways to help build an equitable, diverse and inclusive future workforce with Ethics 1st Tech Champions.
Also a great opportunity for College Students to sign up as a Mentor, get paid and create impact.
