Carver STEAM Academy (Atlanta)

Carver STEAM Academy is a high school in Atlanta, Georgia, focused on STEM education and career readiness, aiming to graduate empowered change agents with a strong focus on college and career pathways.

I participated in Carver STEAM Academy’s annual College & Career Fair, hosting a booth that introduced students to the power of AI in planning their futures. I taught students how to use AI to explore college majors, map out career paths, and understand key skills for success. Additionally, I led a workshop on leveraging AI for career searches, offering practical guidance and answering questions about workforce development to help students prepare for the demands of the modern job market.
