Thought Leadership

Break Through Tech Fellows from across the tri-state area joined us at Accenture’s One Manhattan West office in New York on October 24th for our first Break Through Tech Connect event.

AI Program students nationwide heard from Dr. Joy Buolamwini during this year’s Bridge to Studio as part of a fireside chat with our founder and CEO, Dr. Judith Spitz.

On March 1st, Break Through Tech kicked off Women’s History Month by partnering with Boss Beauties to host an event at the New York Stock Exchange.

This August, we were thrilled to welcome more than 500 exceptional women and non-binary college students from 36 universities nationwide to our Bridge to AI Studio event at Cornell Tech in NYC. Their experience was enriched by the presence and keynote address of an extraordinary voice and a foremost authority on Artificial Intelligence: Allie K. Miller.

Break Through Tech’s AI program —which spans NYC, LA, Boston, and which is available virtually for students outside those regions — helps college women and nonbinary students gain the skills and build the portfolios they need to better prepare them to secure jobs in the fastest-growing areas of tech: data science, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI). Particularly for Black, Latina, Indigenous, low-income, first-generation, and other marginalized communities, the barriers to entering AI loom large. We are here to change that.
