" At the heart of all the work that I do is a rigorous commitment to using out-of-the-box thinking, hard work, and unyielding persistence to achieve a positive vision for the world in which we live. The Millennium Fellowship will give me valuable skills and connect me with a cohort of like-minded peers that will enable me to more meaningfully grow my passions and more effectively serve those around me. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Emerging Technology Group
I originally came to MCN with Healtix, a program to expand access to novel biotherapies. After some work and time in my fellowship, I refined my idea into the Emerging Technology Group, a nonprofit student-run organization that provides pro bono research, writes policies, and education services to help support technology-based social impact projects worldwide. Our two main offerings are:
1) Social-impact focused research projects, including helping scaling affordable renewable power in West Africa, mapping the development of large language AI models, and more.
2) Our Global Education Initiative (GEI), under which ETG guest speaks at workshops held by our partners in India for over 1,000 students in India. We also have designed or are currently crafting education curricula on data science, cybersecurity, and more for 2,600 students in Brazil, and are looking to launch other projects as well.
I just want to thank you so much to Sam Vaghar and MCN for this wonderful opportunity — this would not be possible otherwise!
