Kate Arthur, a current McGill-HEC Montr\u00e9al EMBA participant and Founder of Kids Code Jeunesse<\/a> won Leadership Excellence Award in Empowerment<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is a huge privilege to win the Women in Communication and Technology Leadership Excellence Award in Empowerment<\/a>, just 4 years after winning their Emerging Leader Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n The world has changed a lot in the past 4 years, and it\u2019s been an incredibly rewarding challenge to have grown and developed Kids Code Jeunesse to help equip kids to meet these changes.<\/p>\n Children born in today\u2019s world are not going to know a world that is unshaped by AI and algorithms, so it is critical that we teach them to think critically about the influence of this technology. That\u2019s why we launched the Algorithm Literacy Project<\/a> with CCUNESCO, and it\u2019s why we\u2019ve united our organizational aims behind our #kids2030<\/a> initiative, to teach a million kids and 50,000 educators about AI, algorithms and the role they can play in achieving the U.N.\u2019s Global Goals for Sustainable Development.<\/p>\n I hope that this award will inspire and catalyse the McGill and HEC community to support our mission to prepare kids for a changing world, and start critical conversations about the role of technology in meeting our planet\u2019s challenges.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In early March, Women in Communications and Technology (WCT) announced the recipients of their prestigious Leadership Excellence Awards, which recognize women, men and organizations committed to gender diversity in Canada’s digital industries.
