Curated Pathways to Innovation

What is Curated Pathway to Innovation™?

A web-based app, Curated Pathways to Innovation™ (CPI) acts as a “virtual guidance counselor” and uses gamification to engage students – they can select activities that build interest and engagement while building their curated pathways.

Bridging the Gap

In an effort to bridge the gap in the engagement of underrepresented minorities and women in STEM, YWCA Silicon Valley, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), and Santa Clara University, in partnership with Purdue University and the University of Notre Dame have launched Curated Pathways™ — an IT solution developed to help young women and minorities navigate their journey, with an emphasis on computing careers.

Game Changing Model

The Curated Pathway to Innovation™ (CPI) Project is a game-changing model to drive a collective impact approach for addressing the Broadening Participation (BP) challenge in Silicon Valley and beyond; engaging underrepresented minorities and women in STEM.
