MISSION STATEMENT
OUR ECONOMIC MOBILITY PATHWAY
Nxt Wave Founders (NWF) is set to provide broader and inclusive options for young people to work on a range of climate change projects using data science to investigate the mysteries in big data, earn decent wages, and get valuable opportunities to harness the power of Ai and ML in the service of humanity and the environment.
OUR FLAGSHIP INITIATIVE
The Deep Data Detectives (D3), a flagship initiative of our nonprofit, supports our partners accelerating the local economy through on-the job-skills applying multi-disciplinary training, local entrepreneurship and environmental protection. D3 provides immersions in nature and communities to foster the Nxt Wave of Data Science and Climate Change Leaders, Builders and Entrepreneurs allowing them to prioritize MISSIONS over Degrees. Since inception in 2020, NWF has partnered with schools, colleges, communities, startups and businesses to develop a wealth creation pathway from middle school to early career and entrepreneurship. Pairing sustainability and data science with lived experience and expertise to collectively understand the challenges communities face is essential to charting our economic mobility pathway forward.
Credits: MIT Management Sloan School. Why It Matters: "Innovation has slowed in the U.S., stymying economic growth. To get back on track, the U.S. needs more low-income children," women, and minorities to become inventors — but that won’t be easy.
Credits: MIT Management Sloan School. Why It Matters: The ability to be an innovator doesn’t vary across race, gender, or income groups — but circumstances do. Many of the children in the under-represented groups could have grown up to be inventors, but didn’t, leaving us with a generation of “lost Einsteins.”
OTHER INITIATIVES: IMPACT PrACTiCes of Work
Disability Data Access Lab (DDAL)
Using Data Sciences and Technology to empower People With Disabilities to overcome barriers to independent living and access all levels of health care through a center model.
We are building tools and training programs to:
- Make it easier for researchers (teachers) to use large data sets through new investigation models.
- Look for critical gaps in patient/ caregiver access, analytics and research to unlock self-advocacy and education opportunities for the disability community.
Co-Creation Nation Lab (C.C.N.L.)
Focusing on Smart City 2.0 to enhance citizen experience by making the entire spectrum connected, networked and collaborative.
The acceleration in urbanization places cities under tremendous pressure to provide adequate housing, sustainable living conditions, ensure physical safety for the residents while meeting the constant needs of rapid economic growth. We are committed to identifying smart city technologies that in a Smart City 2.0 scenario, the citizens are empowered to become co-creators of change, ideators and executors.
