During the summer of 2026, we continued our literacy community outreach program with the fourth annual Inkwell Writing Workshop, which took place from August to September. This year's workshop offered in-person classes every Saturday, Tuesday, and Thursday. The workshop was a great success, with strong attendance from the start! We received positive feedback on the fun and engaging activities as well as the instructors' interactions with students.

On February 18, 2026, we led a STEM session at Reedy Creek Elementary School Engineering Club, blending our enthusiasm for AI with a commitment to community engagement. To make artificial intelligence and computer vision approachable, we created interactive games that brought core concepts to life. Through simple, hands-on activities, participants explored how machines recognize images and detect patterns—making complex ideas both fun and understandable.

We successfully held the third Western Wake Children’s Business Fair on November 8th, 2025. Around 100 child entrepreneurs came together with creativity, confidence, and impressive business ideas. Families, elected officials, and community members gathered to support the children and celebrate their entrepreneurial spirit.
