The mission of DataEthics4Allᵀᴹ Foundation is trifold – raise awareness on the ethical use of the entire end to end data pipeline including Artificial Intelligence, break barriers of entry in tech for the economically disadvantaged, people of color, girls, women and raise the next generation of Ethics 1stᵀᴹ Tech Champions!!

1. Students in High School lack STEAM career exploration and Mentoring opportunities.

2. Minorities and communities of color do not have a pathway into the tech sector.

3. They do not have representation or access to a seat at the table.

4. It starts at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.

5. Then it branches out to mentoring and networking opportunities throughout college and beyond.

At each level, the problem has multiple layers, but they all have one thing in common: Lack of Access!

Access to STEM knowledge. Access to mentors, peers, and networking opportunities from a dedicated community of leaders willing to invest in their best interests.

1. According to the Pew Research Center, Black and Hispanic Workers remain underrepresented in the STEM Workforce as low as 5-13% in Engineering roles as compared to White Workers.

2. Representation of Women in Engineering is as low as 15% or in Computer Jobs as low as 25% as compared to Women in health related jobs.

1. 52-60% of U.S. Adults say the main reason that many young don’t pursue college degrees in science, technology, engineering or mathematics is because they think these subjects are too hard.

2. Among those who were ever somewhat interested in a STEM career say they didn’t pursue a career or a job in science, technology, engineering or math due to cost and time, perceived obstacles due to gender, no female mentors.

A multi-pathway program to break barriers and promote cognitive diversity through peer to peer support with a bottoms-up approach from classroom to conferences that provides Education, Mentoring, Global Peer Network from high school to early/mid-career professionals.

A Solution that provides Representation, Accessibility and is Affordable for All.

DataEthics4All Foundation’s STEAM in AI Movement helps High School Students explore linear and nonlinear STEAM and AI Career Paths even if Math, Science and Coding are not their biggest passions.

3. Better Story for College Applications

Our STEAM in AI College Prep Program facilitates learning through an actual Research or a Building Project.

Through experiential learning, students have an opportunity to articulate a better story that conveys their research or project challenges/ and achievements.

The traditional definition of STEAM includes subjects like Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. Great linear paths to careers in Artificial Intelligence. But today, there are also nonlinear STEAM Paths that can lead to careers in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning.

AI is going to be used in every Industry in the future from healthcare to construction and everything in between. Our STEAM in AI movement helps high school students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds the support they need to choose STEAM and AI careers.

Our definition of STEAM also includes Sociology, Technical Education in AI, Ethics, Analytics and Mentoring and we feel that combining the traditional with this new definition of STEAM will bring the much needed STEAM in AIᵀᴹ!!
