The impact of technology on every aspect of society has increased dramatically as applications of AI and data science grow in almost all areas. Thus, understanding strategies to increase the participation of people who have been and remain underrepresented in technology careers, ncluding women, people of color, and people from low-income backgrounds, is very important. This presentation describes strategies that have been successful in various environments. This event is sponsored by the African Engineering and Technology (Afretec) Nework.
