The showcase on July 26 recognized participating interns and
celebrated their successful completion of a six-week paid
internship with the company. Projects included a sign language
translator, robotic guide dog for people with visual impairments
and an artificial intelligence-based car-theft deterrent system. In
addition to building prototypes, participating students also
learned various soft skills – including PowerPoint basics, public
speaking skills and career planning – and participated in employee
networking events during their internships.
“At Intel, we continuously engage in opportunities to identify
and build our talent pipeline. We are proud of the work we have
accomplished in a wonderful partnership with the Oakland Unified
School District in support of students,” said Barb Whye, Intel’s
chief diversity and inclusion officer. “Our focused engagement with
students provides opportunities for hands-on learning experiences
and access to mentors. Engaging students early in the process and
exposure to Intel role models and mentors will make a huge
difference in the decision to pursue STEM degrees. Today’s students
are tomorrow’s innovators, and we have an obligation to ensure they
are ready.”
The five-year collaboration with the district is expected to
reach 2,300 students, encouraging them to pursue future education
in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. It is
part of Intel’s overall diversity in technology initiative, which
aims to accelerate diversity and inclusion – not just at Intel, but
across the technology industry.
