We’re proud to celebrate our partnership with Red Hat, whose team members across EMEA played a key role in supporting young people in our AI for Good programmes this year.
In partnership with Red Hat, we’re on a mission to equip teens with the skills and confidence to tackle real-world challenges using AI. Together, we’re bridging the gap between education and industry—because the next generation of innovators starts here.
As mentors, judges and workshop leaders, Red Hatters offered their time, insight and encouragement — helping teens build confidence, gain real-world skills, and explore how AI can be used to create positive change in their communities.
In her latest blog, Claire Delalande, Vice President of EMEA Marketing at Red Hat, reflects on the programme and the impact it’s had — not only on the young participants, but on the mentors themselves. From tackling issues such as sustainability and mental health, to building teamwork and critical thinking skills, the young people left with more than just new knowledge. They left knowing they belonged in tech.
