Since 2010, there’s been a 91% growth in the tech sector workforce. With growth comes growing pains — more traffic and lower air quality, food deserts, and shrinking water resources. Innovate Tech Charlotte looks to change that.
The nonprofit teaches students to use technology, like AI, to make sustainability attainable. By creating sensors to measure air quality, water quality, and carbon emissions, students are growing toward a brighter future.
“We believe all technology should be used for good,” said Paul Day, Program Director at Innovate Tech Charlotte.
The organization acts as a bridge for students to pursue a high-paying job.
Pro tip: Enrollment is open for K-12 students to get involved in the Sustainability and STEM Program.
“AI isn’t something that we can just use in school. It’s something that we can be using to better our communities and to protect our civilization now and preserve our futures,” added Day.
