For Immediate Release
NEW YORK, NY – February 19,2024 – Today marks a pivotal moment in the journey of the Designed By Us™ Design Corps as it unveils its new identity: the AI Design Corps. This rebranding reflects a deep commitment to the organization's enduring mission of fostering inclusion and driving innovation in the realms of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math, and Design (S.T.E.A.M.D.), with a renewed focus on the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Founder and visionary leader Joanna Peña-Bickley shared her insights on this significant transition, stating, "While our name evolves, our mission remains steadfast: to catalyze change and empower underrepresented voices in S.T.E.A.M.D. The AI Design Corps embodies our dedication to leveraging AI as a tool for inclusion, innovation, and social good. Our commitment to upskilling women, girls, and minorities through a unique leadership program remains at the core of our efforts, ensuring they lead the charge in shaping our future."
The AI Design Corps will continue to build upon the foundation laid by the Designed By Us™ Design Corps, emphasizing gender and minority inclusion through its leadership program. This initiative is specifically designed to upskill participants, providing them with the tools, knowledge, and opportunities to excel in S.T.E.A.M.D. fields. The program focuses on the ethical use of AI in design and technology, preparing participants to navigate and lead in an increasingly digital world.
The organization's new website, [AI Design Corps](https://aidesigncorps.org/identity), serves as a hub for information on its mission, programs, and ways to get involved. It invites individuals and organizations passionate about fostering diversity in S.T.E.A.M.D. to join its community, contribute to its projects, and help make a difference in the world.
As the AI Design Corps embarks on this new chapter, it calls on the global community to join its mission to create a more inclusive, equitable, and innovative future. "Change begins with us, and through the AI Design Corps, we have the opportunity to redefine what's possible in S.T.E.A.M.D. Let's unite to empower the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and creators," Peña-Bickley enthused.
