Press Release: DataEthics4All Foundation has partnered with Topcoder!
`
We are very excited to announce that DataEthics4All Foundation has partnered with Topcoder for the STEAM in AI Program!
Topcoder is the world’s largest technology network and on-demand digital talent platform with more than 1.6 million developers, designers, data scientists, and testers around the globe – they are a community where you can “connect, earn, and learn”. Topcoder puts innovation first by being the market leader in the challenge model – clients requests are broken down into chunks of work made available to Topcoder’s global community in the form of challenges and tasks.
The use of this model means that Topcoder is not just confined to one way of thinking, they are able to offer multiple solutions from various community members in order to provide the best outcomes for their clients. Alongside their paid work, Topcoder also offers free access to a huge range of learning resources, from detailed notes on competitive programming and design, to webinars and events to help those interested in joining the field, and to connect like-minded people in their community.
Topcoder is an amazing organization that values respect, transparency and opportunity, and now they’re a part of our STEAM in AI mission!
This means that our STEAM in AI College Prep Research and Build Program, that matches a high school student with a Mentor for 1:1 Research or Coding Projects, will also have mentors from the Topcoder community!
With our STEAM in AI College Prep Research and Build Program we are hoping to build a more equitable and diverse future workforce, break barriers of entry into tech, and create mentors and role models from different ethnicities that students can look up to, and our partnership with Topcoder is a great step towards that goal.
Because Topcoder works with people all over the world, through our partnership with them, we will be able to offer a multi-cultural, multi-language range of mentors for those taking part in our STEAM in AI program, meaning that there will be someone for everyone to relate to. Topcoder works with designers, developers, data scientists, and competitive programmers, and we are so excited to be able to add these skill-sets to our ever growing list of skilled mentors!
At DataEthics4All, we have re-defined STEAM to not only include the traditional definition of subjects including Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, but to also include Sociology, Technical Education in AI, Ethics, Analytics and Mentoring. We hope that introducing these non-linear pathways to careers in AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning will bring the STEAM in AI, and provide opportunities for those who might not feel that the traditional STEAM subjects are their passion – they’re not the only option!
DataEthics4All’s STEAM in AI Movement is Paving a Path to Success by Bridging the Data, AI and Ethics Literacy Gap to Raise the next generation of Ethics 1st Tech Champions!
Our STEAM in AI College Prep Research and Build Project is an opportunity for High School students to get mentoring and experiential learning from college students and professionals in the fields of AI, Data Science and STEAM that they might want to consider as a career. This program is a great option for those undecided about their career paths, who are slightly unsure and want to gain some experience in their potential field first, and for those who are set on their path and want some help getting there! Our mentors range from undergrad, graduate and PhD college students studying a variety of majors, to Data and AI Professionals who are experienced in their fields and available to share their knowledge!
If you’re a high school student who wants to explore STEAM and AI Career Pathways or prepare for the jobs of the future, then visit the website and book a consultation to find out more!
