It will introduce an innovative method that blends education and playful learning to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Empower young women to explore their entrepreneurial potential and capabilities in AI, helping to close the gaps in inclusion and equality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foster innovation and ensure the sustainability of the SDGs through an engaging and enjoyable game-based environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-accent-color has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-904a1a7ef61b25557f42250ae9c3e41e\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\"><strong>BRIEF DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f7484263c106c9c06d3f2f404be5d852\">Our project <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-color\">aims to increase women\u2019s involvement in AI<\/mark><\/strong> by offering introductory, inclusive educational resources designed to inspire women to pursue careers, entrepreneurship, and skill-building in AI. By <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-color\"><strong>providing training<\/strong><\/mark>, we intend to demonstrate how AI can be applied to SDGs, contributing to the UN&#8217;s efforts in achieving these goals. This will be facilitated through a knowledge portal featuring tailored lesson plans and a Minecraft game that challenges participants&#8217; understanding of AI while focusing on SDG objectives. Given that AI has the potential to contribute to 79% of the UN&#8217;s SDGs and recognizing the historically low female participation in STEM and technology fields, this project addresses a critical need. With only 22% of AI professionals being women, there is a significant skills gap in the AI-driven future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-accent-color
