About us
The Hidden Genius Project was founded in 2012 by five Black male entrepreneurs and technologists unnerved by the dramatic juxtaposition between the high unemployment of Black male youth and the plethora of career opportunities within the local technology sector. To address this challenge, they established a program to connect young Black males with the skills, mentors, and experiences that they need to become high-performing entrepreneurs and technologists in a 21st-century global economy. Our mission is to train and mentor Black male youth in technology creation, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills to transform their lives and communities. We seek to reveal the true potential of Black male youth and transform their communities from the inside out. Through our holistic student-centered, project-based approach, we invest in young black men, give them access to technology training, and plug them into an ecosystem of innovation and empowerment through our Intensive Immersion, Catalyst, and Community Partner Programs.

Our Genius Alumni had a blast at Dreamforce! 🤖🚀 Recently, our team, alongside Kingmakers of Oakland, had the honor of being invited by Salesforce to explore the future of Artificial Intelligence and its impact on education and learning. 🧑🏿💻✨ We were privileged to hear from inspiring leaders, including Dr. Ron C. Smith, Vice President of Education Philanthropy at Salesforce, Dr. Kyla Johnson-Trammell, Superintendent of Oakland Unified School District, and our very own Dr. Brandon Nicholson, CEO of The Hidden Genius Project, as they led a powerful discussion on building an ‘Equitable AI Future.’👏🏿💯 A special highlight of the day was hearing from Moses Moody, who shared his insights during an inspiring interview with Dr. Smith. Beyond the panel, we had the chance to explore the conference and experience groundbreaking innovations in AI and technology that will shape the future. Thank you to Salesforce for hosting such a meaningful conversation and for driving the conversation forward on how AI can uplift and empower communities.🖤💛 #dreamforce2024 #dreamforce #TheHiddenGeniusProject #Techequity #dataethics #artificialintelligence #blacknonprofit #youthmentorship

💡“Once a Genius, always a Genius” is something 18-year-old Cairo Weaver has come to know the meaning of very well. From the moment he was eligible to sign up as a Youth Educator, Cairo jumped at the chance so that he could stay connected and impart the knowledge he gained from the program. ✨And, as an attendee of our inaugural Genius 4 Life Summit earlier this year, he was able to reunite with brothers from his OAK9 Gold cohort and network with fellow alumni spanning our 12 years of Intensive Immersion Programming. Now a first-year student at City College of San Francisco, Cairo has his sights set on transferring to University of California, Santa Cruz and majoring in #ComputerScience, with the goal of pursuing a career in video game development. 🎮 👉🏿Click now to reveal Cairo's journey in our program and beyond: https://buff.ly/3Zm91cc #GeniusRevealed #RevealingGenius #TheHiddenGeniusProject #Blackentrepreneurs #SFCityCollege #UCSantaCruz #OaklandYouth #Blacknonprofit
