Rina Patel: Reinventing Mental and Sexual Health Access for GenZ Youth

Rina Patel: Reinventing Mental and Sexual Health Access for GenZ Youth
Rina: Thanks for inviting me, Spiffy! At SHE, our vision is to reinvent how individuals access health services. We are starting with female-identifying GenZ and focused specifically on mental and sexual health services.

Luisa Velez: A Platform For Easier Management of Learning Diversity and Inclusion

Luisa Velez: A Platform For Easier Management of Learning Diversity and Inclusion
Luisa: It’s great to meet you too, Spiffy, thanks for having me! To answer your question, teaching a classroom where all students have different motivations, emotional backgrounds, abilities, difficulties, or disabilities, is not an easy task. We built Skalo, a platform for teachers to ease the management of this learning diversity by customizing and monitoring strategies and accommodations for students that are facing learning barriers and that learn at a different pace. With Skalo, teachers for grades Pre-K to 12 teach each student in the way they learn according to their needs and monitor their progress to get useful data for pedagogical decisions about learning barriers based on evidence. It provides a customized plan with accommodations for instruction, interaction, and evaluation for each student.

Ashima Sharma: Breaking Down Social Barriers to Mentorship Accessibility

Ashima Sharma: Breaking Down Social Barriers to Mentorship Accessibility
Ashima: Glad to be here, Spiffy! Mentorship is a powerful tool: mentors can support, guide, and encourage you in your education and dreams. However, mentorship is not something everyone has access to today. It can be hard to know who to go to, how to find a mentor, and how to ask them to help you. So that is why we started Dreami. We want to make sure everyone has the power of a mentor to support them in their dreams and goals. Dreami believes that together, we are limitless.
