Our Student LeadersWhile attending the AI4ALL outreach program at UC Berkeley in 2019, Aroshi, the founder of AI Spectra, realized that a diversity of viewpoints could only be incorporated into AI systems if we created the pipeline for a diverse workforce. It was obvious that enabling girls from underrepresented communities to get involved in STEM and spark their interest in fields like AI, was a crucial step towards this goal. Because of gender bias, stereotypes, the unsupportive atmosphere in educational institutions, and school clubs, many young women are unaware of the creativity involved in STEM and how easily and effectively it may be applied to fields that may traditionally appear to be more interesting to them like fashion, art, environment, music, and language.
Alongside Anahita (Operations Lead), Amelia (PR Lead), Sahana (Curriculum Developer), and Aneri (Curriculum Developer), Aroshi has been focusing on creating new curriculum targetting these students with learning modules spaning across disciplines like art, environment, music, language, and fashion through hands-on interactive activities and projects. |
