Raise your paddle at the Royal Bash in support of HEF and Hopkins Public Schools’ annual special project benefiting Hopkins students, “Fueling Future Minds.” With rapid advances in technology in our world, we are excited to team up for this forward-thinking special project. Together, we’ll fund new computer science, data analysis, and artificial intelligence (AI) learning opportunities, tools and experiences. We are excited to equip Hopkins students to tackle global challenges, answer society’s big questions, and shape a better future for all.

“We will be raising money to prepare our students for a whole new world with our special project ‘Fueling Future Minds.’ Our students will need to have a strong foundation in data science and technology that is increasingly part of every career. They also need to understand how to analyze data to be well-informed citizens. With our special project, Hopkins Public Schools can provide the resources and staff to make that happen. Join us and make a difference!” -Emily Wallace-Jackson
