2019 fellow Reema Diab was a featured speaker this week at an event hosted by the Rotary Club of Amman Citadel. With over 1.2 million members globally, Rotary Clubs work to promote peace, grow local economies and support education. In its efforts to spotlight local leaders making an impact in economic development, The Rotary Club of Amman invited Reema to speak about Galaxy Organisation, the initiative she founded that empowers women and youth with STEM skills. Recently, Galaxy worked with 70 women at a local refugee camp for an Artificial Intelligence Training Project, training the women to make their own products using innovative tools.
During her talk, Reema spoke about the importance of harnessing the power of AI, IoT and block chains to not just improve business, but also positively impact local communities. She argued that everyone deserves equal access to technology, sharing Galaxy’s mission to bridge the gap between technology and underserved communities to create jobs and provide a better future to women and youth.
TechWomen is an Initiative of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs
