Key to IDEATE’s success is the collaboration between universities, and with industry partners. By working on inclusion collectively, and by bringing together educators as well as employers, we can achieve broader and faster success than program partners could achieve in isolation from each other.
IDEATE university partners make the following commitments:
Inclusive courses: Modify technology courses, with a focus on introductory courses, to make them more inclusive.
Interdisciplinary: Develop and/or promote interdisciplinary programs combining technology with other fields.
K-12 outreach: Engage with outreach programs for K-12 students and teachers to build a more diverse pipeline of students.
Recruitment: Recruit to increase staff and student diversity.
Belonging: Build and nurture belonging among diverse staff and students.
IDEATE industry partners benefit through:
Shaping change: unique opportunities in decision-making on IDEATE’s future activities.
Student connection: Engaging with students looking to move into technology careers.
Systemic engagement: Partnering at a systemic level with multiple universities simultaneously.
