After attending a summer camp at Stanford’s AI lab, Taylor reflected on the inaccessibility to STEM education in her rural hometown of Logan, Utah.  She made two close friends at the camp who were also eager to bridge divides in STEM education for young women in their communities. Together, they aspired to build an online community to promote curiosity and confidence in young women to pursue STEM and, specifically, artificial intelligence. However, they only found blogs about fashion geared towards young women, so the team started a blog called Allgirlithm to showcase diverse women in technology. In two years, they transformed the blog into a social venture that sponsors a resource hub and AI club program in schools across the US and in 6 other countries.
