Meet Iman Shah, a talented and forward-thinking student at Barnard College, who is bringing the Break Through Tech mission to new places. Iman credits the Break Through Tech #AI Program with equipping her with the skills, confidence and community to excel in a competitive landscape and better understand the world. Her work with Guidehouse, where she used Python and #machinelearning to forecast humanitarian aid needs in Ukraine, shows her and her team's ability to turn academic knowledge into real-world impact.

Grateful to you, Meghna Sinha for your unwavering support of our mission! With leaders like you and partners like Verizon by our side, we're empowering students across the country to shape the future and unlock their limitless potential. #womenintech #breakthroughtech

The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to advancing technology that protects our safety, security, democratic values, and human rights. In his Executive Order on the Safe, Trustworthy, and Responsible Development and Use of #AI, President Biden instructed the United States government to pull every lever to attract and hire highly skilled talent in AI and critical and emerging technologies. To that end, the Ford Foundation, The Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, Pivotal Ventures, and the Siegel Family Endowment have jointly committed $7 million through 2025 to support organizations that develop public-interest technologists, solutions, and infrastructure. This includes allocating $2.25 million in 2024 to support civil society efforts to strengthen technical pathways to public service. At Break Through Tech, we believe that our first line of defense against issues of bias in AI is the diversity of the #technologists involved in its design. This initiative is a testament to our unwavering commitment to changing the path to power by equipping female tech talent with the skills, support, and experiences they need to break into tech roles - enabling them to write and influence the rules of our tech-enabled world. Join us as we pave the way for a future where technology is accessible, inclusive, and transformative for everyone.
