Afghan entrepreneur Roya Mahoob and Founder of Ada-AI Sarah Porter are raising money to build a high school of science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) in Afghanistan to raise the next generation of global tech leaders. The school will povide students with critical technical skills and exposure to emerging technologies and Artificial Intelligence. With support from the local leaders, we’ll work with global experts in the sciences and tech to develop a curriculum that’s sensitive to the ongoing digital revolution. With the right training and support, today’s Afghan children can become tomorrow’s global tech leaders—equipped and empowered to build a new and prosperous Afghanistan that can compete on the world stage.
