🎉 Huge congratulations to Heman Bekele for being named TIME's 2024 Kid of the Year! 🙌✨Throwing it back to 2020, when we had the honor of interviewing the very first TIME Kid of the Year, Gitanjali Rao. 🌟 A standout moment from our chat was when Rao shared her valuable advice for future generations: “The biggest one is don’t be afraid to dream big and then think back to reality because at the end of the day, we’re all kids. We all have the time to make those dreams into reality, and we can also recognize that we’re one person, so don’t feel pressured to do everything by yourself. And that brings me to my second point: don’t be afraid to ask for help...Don’t be afraid to fail—that’s honestly the one thing that has brought me back to the beginning itself, is that I had to recognize that failure was another step to success.” Here’s to dreaming big and supporting each other along the way! 💪🌟 #TIMEKidOfTheYear #ProjectScientist #Inspiration

Today, on National Women's Equality Day, we honor the courageous women who have fought for equality. From securing the right to vote in 1920 to the potential election of the first woman president in 2024, women have shattered barriers with resilience and strength. But our journey is far from over. To truly advance, we must inspire more women and girls to enter STEM—fields essential for innovation & progress but where women remain underrepresented. Project Scientist is proud to answer this call everyday. Watch and share our video to help spread this mission across the U.S. and beyond! https://lnkd.in/gvCKsCfx #NationalWomensEqualityDay #GirlsinSTEM #ProjectScientist #BreakingBarriers cc Dr. Patrice S.

Fun Fact: The Birth of AI! 🤖 Did you know that the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) was officially born in the summer of 1956 at a workshop held at Dartmouth College? 🏫 A group of visionary scientists, including John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, and Claude Shannon, gathered to explore the idea of creating machines that could “think” like humans. This historic event laid the foundation for the incredible advancements in AI we see today! (Source: Dartmouth.edu) Benefits & Perils: AI has the potential to revolutionize our world by enhancing efficiency, driving innovation, and improving safety. However, it also poses challenges such as job displacement, ethical concerns, and the need for responsible use. Balancing these benefits and perils is key to harnessing AI’s full potential! #FunFactFriday #ProjectScientist #ArtificialIntelligence
