Girls and Women Leading in the AI Era and Beyond

The United States is facing a growing crisis: a severe shortage of workers in STEM, the supply chain and skilled trades. But here’s the good news: We have the talent and resources to start solving this problem today.

The labor shortage in these critical fields is not new, but it has been exacerbated by several factors, including an aging workforce; resignations and retirements accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic; a new phase of industrialization and rapid technological advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and other areas that require a tech-ready workforce.

To solve this shortage and secure the nation’s economic future and maintain its global competitive edge, the United States must tap into the potential of girls and underrepresented communities like we’ve never done before.

Testimonials

GAN gave me a scholarship to attend the Smith Summer Science and Engineering Program (SSEP) and I’ve returned from Massachusetts. Thank you. It was really fun over there. I made friends with many people; especially with one girl, she’s from Uganda. I think that’s cool. So once again, thank you for providing me with the scholarship and the gift card for SSEP.

GAN gave me a scholarship to attend the Game Programming Workshop sponsored by DigiPen Institute of Technology and St. Philip’s Academy in Newark, New Jersey. I really learned a lot and got exposure to a whole new area. Thank you so much for the opportunity.

“I learned a multitude of things at this program- on the coding side I learned how big data is used, what big data is, how anaconda works, what the future of ai/technology on a whole means for humans, and more about how python works.”

“The people I met at Smith would be my favorite takeaway I would say. I was able to meet young women from across the globe, all with their own stories and experiences. I grew so much in myself too, gained independence and confidence in my own abilities.”

“I realized how fortunate I am and how much I take for granted. I went home with a feeling of accomplishment and gratitude [to] all those who gave. Thank you to the Episcopalian Church and to GAN for giving me the opportunity to serve others. I enjoyed the GAN Giving Back Service Day project and that experience has made me eager to volunteer again.”

What is Group Enrollment?

Group Enrollment allows members to enroll in specific course groups such as STEM – Cybersecurity as well as various Skilled Trades and Supply Chain groups. When these course groups become available, they will appear on the Group Enrollment page and you can enroll yourself into these groups and take the various courses. You will also receive a text message and/or email when these groups become available.

What is the GT3S Speedway Tracker?

The Tracker reflects the annual points accrued (based on your Quarter) for all four focus areas, as well as the aggregate total. It is an easy way to see where you are excelling and where you might need more work. Points reset at the beginning of each new GAN Quarter.

What is GAN Quarter

Your GAN Quarter is the Quarter of the year in which you joined, expressed as QTR1, QTR2, QTR3, and QTR4. For example, if you joined GAN in January through March, your GAN Quarter would be QTR1. If you joined GAN in April through June, your quarter would be QTR2, and so on. Your GAN Quarter also controls your annual points accrual period. For example, if you’re a QTR2 member, you accrue annual points from April of the current year to April of the next year. This allows all GAN members accrue points on an annual basis in a fair manner.

Where can I find my GAN Quarter?

You can see your designated GAN Quarter under “Edit GAN Profile” in the “My Account” section of the website.

How do I get credit for classes or other activities that aren't in my Learning Dashboard?

Go to your Learning Dashboard either from “My Account” or the “GAN Girl Hub”, then click on “Show More” under left-hand pane, then click on “External Activities”. There you can add many different types of activities that all have point values.

What are examples of the types of activities I can receive points in each of the 4 GT3S Program Pillars of the GT3S Program: Reflection, Explore, Expose, Experience?
