Event Details:
Do you want to make the world a better place and have a job that pays and treats you well?
Come meet Stanford and SLE Alum Darlene Damm (History, '98) to learn more about the millions of new jobs emerging at the intersection of social impact and technology.
If you’re working for an impact technology company, you might be managing a fleet of robots growing food in ways better for the environment, or using satellite data to help cities prepare for a natural disaster. You might be helping kids living in refugee camps access a world-class education through online learning and games, using artificial intelligence to create inspiring stories and films about social issues, or building electric ships, planes, and cars producing less emissions and pollution. You might be curing horrific diseases with data science, training healthcare workers in low-income communities, or even using gigantic robots with 3D printers to build affordable housing.
Darlene recently wrote Your Dream Job is Here: The Impact Technology Revolution and the New Jobs Saving the World. The book explores the hundreds of thousands of new impact technology companies solving problems in education, climate, the environment, clean energy, food, health, transportation, and more.
