Inclusion, access, and the next generation

David B Poku on computing, AI, community, and belonging in STEM.

David B Poku is on a mission to make computing, AI, and digital technology more inclusive, accessible, and transformative for the next generation.

His vision is to bring technology education beyond the traditional classroom and into communities—so every young person can see themselves as creators of technology, not just users. His work focuses especially on supporting girls, Black and Asian students, and other underrepresented groups to feel that they truly belong in computing and STEM.

David believes that technology education should reflect the diverse world we live in—curious, creative, and full of different perspectives. When more voices are included in technology, we build better solutions to real-world problems.

Through his work as a computing educator and researcher, he develops innovative ways to teach digital skills, combining AI, game-based learning, robotics, 3D printing, and emerging technologies to inspire students. His projects aim to make learning computing engaging, practical, and empowering. He is also building initiatives that connect education, technology, and community impact, helping young people develop the skills needed for the future digital economy.

David’s work includes:

  • Developing AI-powered educational games and learning platforms
  • Researching belonging and representation in computer science education
  • Creating STEM learning opportunities that bridge schools, communities, and industry
  • Supporting students to see themselves as future engineers, developers, and innovators

His goal is simple but powerful: To help the next generation believe that they belong in technology—and give them the tools to shape the future.
