Initiative Aligns with National AI Education Priorities and the Vision of Local Leadership
BALTIMORE - Marylandian -- STEM City Baltimore has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the State of Maryland to provide cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) and metaverse training for youth.

"We are entering an era the world hasn't seen before — one driven by AI and immersive technology. It is imperative that our youth, especially from underserved communities, are not left behind. This training is not just about workforce readiness; it's about empowerment, inclusion, and ownership in the digital future."
