Available on Amazon, "A Fresh Squeeze on Data," explains complex
data concepts, including Machine Learning model training and data
bias, in simple terms. The book was written by ReadyAI's team of
educators, who specialize in providing K-12 students with an
inclusive approach to learning and advancing AI and technology
concepts.
As part of this initiative, Cloudera and ReadyAI sponsored the
Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club's "Summer
Brain Gain" summer camps in North
Haven and Wallingford,
Connecticut, where new programs like "homework buddy" for
virtual learning were piloted along with "Summer Brain Gain" courses which add additional
curriculum to aid educators. The Ulbrich Boys & Girls Club will
incorporate the book and lesson plans related to the book into
local schools this Fall.
"Since March 2020, students have
had a school experience unlike any other. At our Boys & Girls
Club organization, we have seen STEM courses in particular become
challenging in a virtual learning environment," said Carlos Collazo, Executive Director at Ulbrich
Boys & Girls Club. "Through the new book and other activities,
Cloudera and ReadyAI are making technical subjects like data and AI
easier for our students to understand."
Cloudera believes data drives better decisions and moves
businesses forward. The company is innovating and helping Fortune
500 transform and grow because they can make better data-driven
decisions at the accelerated pace we live and work in today.
"Here at Cloudera, we know it's important to understand where
data comes from and how it can be used to make good predictions and
decisions," said Scott Aronson,
chief operating officer at Cloudera. "Data can help us find the
best solutions for people, our natural resources, and our
communities. The possibilities are limitless - just like they are
for kids."
"For most children, AI will soon be their co-workers, drivers,
customer service reps, radiologists, in short - a natural part of
their lives. Our children have the right to be AI-educated so they
can thrive intellectually, emotionally, and morally alongside AI,"
said ReadyAI CEO Rooz Aliabadi. "We are proud to partner with
Cloudera, who also recognizes this mission, to publish 'A Fresh
Squeeze on Data' that encourages children to transform from passive
spectators of technology disruption to active participants of
positive change in their local communities and the world."
