OUR STORY
Founded in 2018 by Elena Sinel, Teens in AI was launched at the United Nations AI for Good Global Summit. Our team is made up of passionate, knowledgeable, and driven individuals who strive to create a world where everyone has equal opportunity to maximise their potential.
OUR CORE
At the core of everything we do is the aspiration to inspire the next generation of responsible leaders, innovators, and technologists from all walks of life to work together to find ways to thrive and prosper in this world.
In order to achieve this goal, we have set ourselves a mission to empower all young people to use technology to create innovative and effective solutions to the world’s biggest problems.
By welcoming and encouraging diverse perspectives, we feel it is our duty to empower everyone to act as a catalyst for change and help generate better ideas to solve the complex problems of our ever-changing world.
Inspiring and being inspired is an important part of every project or programme that we put our name to. By connecting through shared experiences, we learn from each other, exchange ideas, and open our eyes to the endless possibilities technology has to offer us.
