As part of our Transportation YOU Committee efforts to inspire the next generation of STEM and transportation professionals, we have a great upcoming volunteer opportunity.
Women Innovators is hosting a TechGirlz event and is seeking volunteers to serve as TechChallenge Mentors. This year's challenge is a design-thinking activity where participants will develop a prototype for an AI Study Buddy. Volunteers do not need to be experts in AI or technology. Mentors will facilitate a group of 8-10 participants as they work through the activity and will help evaluate projects using a provided rubric.
