One thing I love about The Able Trust is through their High School High Tech program they can connect young adults with different career aspirations in collaborative ways. For example Alyssa is interested in Landscape Architecture and other HSHT students are interested in technology, development, or AI/ML. Combine those two together and you get a project where Alyssa could go out to a customer, listen to what they want, take pictures, and use an AI/ML tool developed by a HSHT student to visually bring to life the customers ideas to life. This sort of collaboration is at the heart of The Able Trust: Lift others higher.
