College/University Interest & Commitment

Please share with the selection committee why you are interested in becoming an AI4ALL participating college/university (200 word limit)

AI4ALL aims to partner with universities committed to expanding access to quality artificial intelligence education to students from underrepresented groups in STEM. What current initiatives does your college/university have to expand access to these groups?

Which on-campus and off-campus resources (e.g. Computer Science department, Provost's Office, Access & Equity Office, NSF, etc.) have been/will be identified to support the launch and sustainability of an AI4ALL summer program?

AI4ALL Summer Program graduates have an opportunity to opt-in to the alumni network, where they receive access to continuing education grants, internship / experiential learning opportunities, and mentors. How do you envision your school supporting alumni after the summer program is completed? This can be in the form of providing free access to on-campus admission events or opportunities for meaningful in-person/virtual engagements with current undergraduates studying AI and/or CS

Would you like to provide any additional comments regarding your college/university's interest, on-campus available resources or commitment to the AI4ALL mission?

Faculty & Staff Support

AI4ALL's summer programs are hosted by university AI/CS faculty and staff who serve as Program Directors (PD) and Coordinators (PC). AI4ALL works closely with on campus team and provides culturally responsive AI curriculum designed for high school students, and a handbook of resources to support the program.

For successful planning and launch of an AI4ALL program, we suggest identifying two faculty/staff representatives who will serve as liaisons between the college/university and AI4ALL.
