Ronald,
On April 26, 2025, more than 100 attendees joined us virtually for the AI Symposium to End the Preschool-to-Prison Pipeline—a movement powered by students, leaders, and YOU.
Together, we:
✅ Connected educators, technologists, policymakers, and parents
✅ Showcased AI solutions to reform schools, help parents
✅ Laid groundwork for a $100B HBCU-AI Fund to tackle public safety and workforce challenges
📣Policy Win
Just days before our Symposium, the White House issued a bold new HBCU Innovation Executive Order. If the language sounds familiar, it’s no coincidence — key themes mirror those outlined in our STEM4US! White Paper released earlier this year. This is powerful validation of our advocacy — and your support.
Next Stop: Summer Ag-Tech Hackathon
🎯 We’re teaming with Virginia State University to host a weekend hackathon and training in agriculture + AI. Our plan is to bus students from:
- Memphis, TN
- DC / Maryland
- Virginia
🌱 Help keep 100+ youth safe, engaged this summer with this life-changing experience
