Two of our charity partners are in need of some TechSupport!  A new addition to the TechAid lineup, TechSupport is your chance to learn first-hand how some of the brightest minds in AI approach real-world machine learning problems. Working in small groups, you’ll collaborate with Amii Fellows and staff scientists to identify and explore the ways your assigned charity could apply and develop AI technologies to solve the biggest challenges facing their organization and the communities they serve.

The only way to participate in TechSupport is by applying for a FREE ticket through our Talent Bursary program. Enrollment in a computer science or related undergraduate or graduate program is preferred.

TechAid is our opportunity to give back! Our version of a charity run it’s an opportunity for you to join in the Amii mission of AI for Good and For All. Rather than racking up the kilometres, we’re putting our love of technology front and centre to raise funds for our charity partners.

Participation in the Reverse Expo and TechTalks is free with a suggested donation to our Canada Helps fundraising campaign. We work on the honour system and hope you will too!

Visit our Canada Helps page to learn more about the causes we’re supporting, donation receipts and how you can support their efforts year-round.

Did you know more than 1 in 3 young people who menstruate didn’t feel prepared for their first period; 1 in 7 have struggled to access the period products they need; 1 in 7 are worried about their ongoing ability to afford them; and 83% of young people have tried to hide the fact they have their period from those around them. This can lead to poor health decisions, including using products for too long, using unclean alternatives, or ignoring symptoms that could be signs of larger problems.

As we collectively work towards welcoming more women and gender-diverse people into the AI field, access to period products is just one more step we can take to ensure we remove any roadblocks to their success.

You’ll find Menstruation Stations in all washrooms at TechAid 2022, and Amii is proud to be the first signatory of the Period Promise Policy Agreement in Alberta.
