Advanced research in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cloud computing and other science and technology related areas have the opportunity to change the world as we know it. To ensure an equitable scientific future, we propose an ecosystem approach to educating and training the next generation of advanced researchers and social entrepreneurs that embrace the social sciences, arts and cultural relevance and responsibility. We propose a consortia of public education programs, minority serving institutions, community colleges and tech companies to nurture and engage underrepresented students in advanced research leveraging connections from K-12 to PhD, with many career options along the journey. Together, addressing the gap in representation in advanced research and addressing high human impact research areas, we have an opportunity to reimagine the future of science and the potential for its’ impact for social good. There is also a significant opportunity to not just support the future of research and development in these areas, but to also leverage technologies from these fields in the educational process itself to transform what is taught and how education experiences are modernized particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic and our increasing understanding from neuro and cognitive sciences that offer implications to consider in the learning environment.
