Student operator fellowships
Support direct student participation, stipends, and the operator training time required to move learners from exposure to execution.
Support AARI
AI wealth is being created now. AARI is making sure Black students and underrepresented learners have access to the infrastructure behind that wealth.
AARI trains HBCU students and underrepresented learners to become operators of the AI infrastructure stack: energy, chips, data centers, GPUs, cloud, edge AI, robotics, and quantum systems.
Support direct student participation, stipends, and the operator training time required to move learners from exposure to execution.
Fund the compute, embedded systems, sensors, robotics kits, and lab hardware students need to work on real infrastructure and physical AI systems.
Back curriculum development, technical leads, and structured instruction across cloud, security, AI infrastructure, and production systems.
Expand the pipeline into robotics, quantum literacy, and data center workforce preparation with hands-on programming tied to real operator outcomes.
