Potentia Leadership Summit

The Potentia Leadership Summit is a 5-day immersive program that empowers high school girls to become ethical, tech-literate leaders in a world shaped by artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies.

Students gain real-world understanding of AI, explore its impact on society, and develop the skills to lead with creativity, confidence, and conscience. This isn’t about tech for tech’s sake—it’s about using technology as a tool for justice, innovation, and purpose.

WHY IT MATTERS

The future is being shaped by algorithms, data, and digital platforms. Students need more than access to technology—they need the tools to question it, influence it, and use it responsibly. 

WHAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN & DO 

• AI & Tech Literacy: Gain a foundational understanding of AI, data, and digital systems through engaging, hands-on activities.
• Ethical Thinking: Explore challenges like deepfakes, bias, and digital inequality—and brainstorm creative, justice-focused solutions.
• Leadership Development: Strengthen voice, purpose, and leadership identity through storytelling and reflection.
• Collaboration & Advocacy: Work in teams to design and present a session on a tech issue that matters.
• Real-World Exposure: Connect with industry leaders, explore emerging careers, build future-ready skills, and expand your network through exclusive visit to one of our top innovation partners.

CULMINATING SHOWCASE

The summit concludes with a powerful showcase where students lead a team-designed session on a pressing tech issue. Designed to inform and inspire peers, families, and the broader community, this final project marks their shift from learning about the future to actively shaping it—and becomes a standout addition to college applications, portfolios, and scholarship essays.
