Using Technology to Create Impact
When: Saturday, August 29, 2026 | 12:00–12:45 PM EST | Miami Beach, FL

A conversation on identity, authenticity, and the power of AI — for women shaping the future of tech.

Drawing from their own journeys in tech, Ashley Prado and Veronica Rojas Mora explore what it means to authentically navigate these spaces as young women — sharing honest reflections on imposter syndrome, how to show up as your full self in rooms that weren’t always built for you, and practical ways to harness AI as a tool for community impact. You won’t want to miss the interactive Q&A, whether you’ll be joining us in-person our from the livestream you will have the opportunity to participate!

Ashley Prado, a graduate student in Data Science & AI at FIU, brings experience from software engineering internships at Microsoft and Siemens, research in machine learning and NLP, and her work as President of the Society of Women Engineers at FIU. After navigating her own path as an immigrant from Venezuela, she founded the Immigrant Student Center to help other immigrant students access the resources to thrive.

Veronica Rojas Mora, an undergraduate in Cybersecurity FIU, is an Amazon Future Engineer Scholar with experience interning at AWS and building AI-powered projects like ClariTA AI, which placed 3rd at ShellHacks 2025. She’s also the founder of Latinos on Campus, helping Latino and first-generation students navigate college access and career readiness.

Daya turned $1.3M in scholarships into a launchpad for entrepreneurship and storytelling.

In this keynote, she opens with her latest short film before unpacking the mindset, strategy, and belief that turned scholarship applications into a springboard for an extraordinary career.

As founder and CEO of Elom & Co., an Atlanta-based production company amplifying rising creators through poetic films and community events, Daya shows that funding your future starts long before your first investor writes a check. She’ll share how the opportunities, networks, and confidence scholarships unlocked shaped her path — and how she’s leveraging AI to bring her creative work to life.
A Duke University alumna and the youngest-ever intern at Warner Media, Daya has built Elom & Co. partnerships with Amazon and Warner Media, and is an award-winning journalist and poet featured by Good Morning America and The Washington Post.

Back-to-school shopping adds up fast — and for many families, it’s one of the biggest expenses of the year.

NMSDC partnered with The Zay Project to help ease that burden. Attendees spent Monday and Tuesday assembling backpacks stocked with essential school supplies for students in the Phoenix region.

The National Retail Federation estimates that parents may spend well over $800 in back-to-school supplies in 2026. A fully stocked backpack means one less thing a family has to budget for during an already expensive time of year.

Meet Jose Cruz — computer engineering student at Boston University and founder of his own scholarship, built to open doors for underrepresented students.

From applicant to founder, Jose knows what it feels like to doubt whether you belong — and he’s turning that into a mission to make sure other students don’t have to doubt it alone.

“It’s not about myself anymore — it’s about the next kid who needs to know it’s possible.”

Premieres tomorrow, July 15th at 3pm PT / 6pm ET 🎙️

I hopped on a bus to participate in a Yale Hackathon. 👾💻🖥️

Next week on the IOScholarships Superheroes podcast Jose G. Cruz-Lopez joins us to give students tips on how to create opportunities for themselves while pouring back into the community and participant insight on the whirlwind of a 24 hour hackathon at Yale University.

Everything Jose builds starts with one idea: turn the opportunities he finds into doors other people can walk through. Through Cruzing Forward, he shares the scholarships, internships, and roles that usually stay hidden from students like him. And with From Campus to Career, he’s building a free, bilingual space for first-gen students figuring it all out on their own.
