Help Provide Computing and AI Learning Opportunities for Black and Hispanic Youth

Changing Expectations mission is to provide the highest impact STEM and computer coding programs to inspire Black and Hispanic youth to pursue computing careers. Our programs are designed to study and increase Black and Hispanic students’ interest, engagement, learning, knowledge, and intentions to persist in STEM and computer science education and careers, including artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. We focus our work on reaching out to young people who might otherwise not have access to quality STEM and computer science education programs to close the opportunity gaps they face.

Changing Expectations seeks to partner on the following inclusive artificial intelligence (AI) literacy education goals – close the AI digital divide by ensuring unserved learners can use AI skills crucial for 21st-century education and the workforce, increase the diversity of AI users, managers, and developers, and provide AI literacy education that addresses culturally relevant issues.  For more information, please visit the Changing Expectations Black Churches and HBCU Students for AI Literacy Initiative at Black Churches and HBCU Students for AI Literacy — Changing Expectations (changeexpectations.org)

Changing Expectations Corp is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization committed to providing STEM and computer science teaching and learning opportunities to alleviate global talent shortages and advance the future STEM workforce by inspiring PK-12 students—especially those who are underrepresented in STEM: female, low income, and students of color—to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) related fields. Changing Expectations aims to provide the highest impact STEM programs such as cyber security, artificial intelligence, civil engineering (rain gardens), robotics, and computer coding programs to inspire youth of color and prepare them to pursue STEM careers. We focus our work on reaching out to students who might otherwise not have access to quality STEM and computer science education programs.
