The youth of today will undoubtedly be the leaders of tomorrow. That's why we want to connect these youth to the "technology of tomorrow." Our conference aims to raise awareness about AI opportunities, provide first-hand learning experiences, and connect high school students to universities, industry leaders, educational organizations, and cities. Through our conference, we hope to make the future more prosperous for all.

Danielle is currently a second year English and Education student at the University of Calgary. She first entered the world of robotics and AI through her high school robotics teams (FRC 4719, VEX 3388X) where she gained an appreciation for the complexity and applicability of technology. She joined Autonomous Electric Motorsport (AEM) in order to further her passion through working to develop a simulation for testing AI driving software. While AEM is an organization geared towards university students, Danielle is grateful for the opportunity to work with AI4Youth to bring AI to more young minds.
