BLOOM: Career-Connected AI Fluency
BLOOM guides young women through four years of high school AI learning connected to careers they care about, building skills and confidence to use them.
Women adopt AI at 22% lower rates than men; a gap rooted in confidence, not capability, that begins before they enter the workforce. BLOOM addresses this at the source. Across four years of high school, young women build AI fluency through career-connected experiences in healthcare, education, business, and beyond. Through our interactive design and peer mentorship, participants develop both proficiency and identity as AI users before the gap can form.
