AI Fluency Buildathons: Hands-On AI Skills for Women in Tech
Nationwide buildathons teaching underserved women to design and build AI tools, narrowing workplace AI gaps while creating career-advancing skills and functional solutions.
Women are 30% less likely to receive AI training at work and adopt AI at 22% lower rates than men, widening career disparities. Black women face the highest unemployment among educated demographics. /dev/color's AI Fluency Buildathons address these gaps through intensive events where women build working AI applications. Extending our Gates Foundation Datathon model, we'll train 1,200 women across six cities over three years, creating 125+ functional tools and 25+ facilitators for sustainable expansion.
