After spending time with these women I am excited for girls to learn about these careers. Not only are they fun and interesting, it is important for society to have their participation.”
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, USA, May 4, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The San Francisco-based nonprofit Career Girls announced today the release of a series of four Empowerment Lesson videos and curricula based on interviews with several women role models with careers in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Robotics. All are freely available and accessible online.— Linda Calhoun, Career Girls Founder and Executive Producer
Each Empowerment Lesson, “AI and ML,” “Why Consider AI Careers,” “Robotics,” and “Explore Careers in AI,” has a corresponding downloadable Fun Page Activity, Independent Learning Guide, and Classroom Lesson Plan.
As one of the role models, Betelhem Dessie observes, “most of us might think that Artificial Intelligence is the future, but it’s actually currently our reality.” Another role model, Randi Williams, explains why it’s critical for girls from all backgrounds to consider a career in AI. “If it’s only a small group of people building for a huge population, then they are going to miss things. We want problems to solved in a way that are meaningful to the people who are going to be using them”.
“After spending time with these women I am excited for girls to learn about these careers. Not only are they fun and interesting, it is important for society to have their participation,” said Linda Calhoun, Career Girls Founder and Executive Producer.
“Research shows girls start losing interest in STEM in middle school, but they’re more likely to stay on track with their math and science studies if they see successful women who work in fields that utilize math and science,” said Linda Calhoun. “Our content is used in 232 countries around the world (on- and off-line) and is available in 18 languages. That way, every girl, regardless of their background or location, has access to real women who inspire them to reach for the stars.”
Additionally, Careergirls.org provides social and emotional learning “Empowerment Lesson” videos that teach girls softs skills like integrity, leadership and choosing the right friends. It also offers ready-to-use toolkits that parents, teachers, guidance counselors, group leaders, and mentors can use that emphasize the lessons learned in the role model videos.
