Our Data Intern serving and presenting at the 29th #ASFYouthAssembly! We LOVE to see it! #LetsDoThis #DoSomething
Last Sunday, I had the incredible opportunity to speak at the 29th AFS Youth Assembly, presenting "Design for Good: Leveraging Technology & Innovation." This summer, I've been working as a Data Intern on the Product & Engineering Team at DoSomething, an international nonprofit dedicated to youth civic engagement. I was joined by Sahil Gupta and Kazi Anwar, along with an insightful video on Design Thinking by Tran Bui. We had the privilege of engaging with a room full of inspiring, intelligent, and driven youth leaders and changemakers from around the globe. While we introduced them to the broad scope and power of technology, they took the lead during our design thinking activities. The audience shared their creative ideas and inspirational stories—like how they plan to use technology to battle cyberbullying in their high school, address the low education rate in their town in Nigeria, and connect underprivileged families with safe school transportation. The conversations and ideation continued well beyond the session until we were kicked out of the room, which was definitely the highlight of the event. I leave the AFS Youth Assembly motivated by these young changemakers to advance my data science skills and leverage them for good for my global community.

🗳️ Got a friend who doesn’t plan to vote? It’s all about starting the conversation with empathy and understanding. 💬 As DeNora Getachew, CEO at DoSomething, shares, it’s important to listen to their reasons without judgment. DoSomething member Jade Capellen adds, “Instead of bombarding them with information, connect the act of voting to what they care about. Show them that their voice truly matters.” ✨ Read the full article by our friends at Her Campus Media to learn more about how to encourage your friends to get out and vote.
