The AI Advantage | Student Success in a Tech Driven World

As part of a collaboration between the University of California, Riverside, and the Inland Empire Regional K–16 Education Collaborative, Leslie Valmonte (Bridge 5D Founder and Principal) helped lead an in-person experience designed to make generative AI accessible and exciting for high school and community college students.

Through interactive workshops and storytelling, we explored how AI is transforming learning, work, and creativity — empowering students to use technology as a tool for possibility, not replacement. This project reflected Bridge5D’s belief in strategy with heart — bridging innovation, equity, and human potential to prepare the next generation for a rapidly changing world.
