Our Goal: 

To glamorize being an IT Professional, the same way society glamorizes being a professional athlete or Hip Hop artist…

Students from California and military families around the world arrive to the conference sharing and celebrating a common ground—their “relationship” with Hip Hop. Yes, Hip Hop is global and because of this has the power to bring diverse groups of people together through a shared respect and love for the art and culture. We teach emerging technologies using the excitement, power, and context of the Hip Hop Culture.  For example, students who wouldn't sit through a traditional A.I. class will instead learn to develop a Music Bot.

This STEM Event features Celebrity Guests, Public Figures, and Silicon Valley Mentors coupled with hands-on cyber security, artificial intelligence, block chain, and data privacy workshops.  Most importantly throughout this event, teens will be having fun, because learning should be FUN.

The best part is that for the duration of this conference the selected youth will be staying in dorms and getting the full “college experience” just footsteps away from the Silicon Valley.  This STEM event may reset TEEN expectations for their futures.

We teach youth through what they know best—technology and the hip hop culture. We use Hip Hop as our art, and genuinely engage teens into STEM careers.

Hip Hop Leaders has followed industry innovators with the concept of S.T.E.A.M. and have added our version of an A (art) to STEM. 

We offer at risk-youth exposure to STEM career paths they may not otherwise have thought possible.

Power Women In Technology Panel 

A Strong Audience: Many share our passion, and commitment to STEM for Everyone, Everywhere.

We are passionate about providing access to STEM for underrepresented Groups, especially teen girls.  And what we have found is that many, many, many women from all walks of life, are as well.

Our Power Women in Technology Panel is unique and as of 2018, officially a permanent part of future Conferences.  The Panel has transcended specific demographic groups.  Support for our panel has attracted women from a wide age range, income, and international geographic demographic.  Many of the Women that support our Conference are proven IT professionals, that are obviously technology savvy and highly active on social media. This is an amazing sponsorship opportunity for Constellations Labs.  We can customize this panel to meet your organization's brand requirements.
