We are Empower-Us
The idea of Empower-Us began in the Fall of 2018 as a small project between a group of friends with some common interests: computers, running, workouts, music, cars, and machine learning. We realized that there was a lot happening in the world and many teens and young adults were not aware of it all. We started this website to enlighten our peers on ways to promote STEM education and bolster the importance of machine learning. We also realize that there is a lack of healthful living education in the world and are committed to bringing about a better and more educated lifestyle for all. We are firm believers in the power of experiential learning, and by doing so, we can make a difference. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
