Quest for Good
Making a difference in the places where Quest does business
Through our Quest for Good program, Quest works to support vetted charitable organizations that are making a positive impact at the intersection of technology and underserved communities.
With thanks and appreciation to attendees, speakers and partners for their support of the Quest for Good program at the 2023 BLUEPRINT 4D conference, this annual program is again focused on creating a positive impact in our local host community. We are looking to expand this program at BLUEPRINT 4D in 2024, by making a donation to provide St. Philip’s School & Community Center (SPSCC) with additional funding to execute a STEM class project and then present their project to conference attendees.
How can I participate?
This year’s program is designed to provide insights for IT and business leaders on how to assess and anticipate the impact of AI, what it will take to successfully manage change and how to develop the internal skills and resources needed for the changes to come.
As a BLUEPRINT 4D customer attendee, you can help make a positive impact by:
- Visiting a participating Quest for Good vendor partner at the Exhibitor Showcase. Each visit to a participating vendor partner will result in $1 being donated by the participating vendor partner to the Quest for Good initiative.
- Making a financial contribution to the Quest for Good initiative
Your Contributions in Action
Contributions received in 2023 have gone towards executing the following Quest for Good programs where Quest is partnering with St. Philips School & Community Center (SPSCC), located in Dallas, to “give back” to the local community of Quest’s conference host city.
- Sponsor a Class on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: The Quest community is sponsoring a SPSCC class on artificial intelligence and machine learning in the spring of 2024. Through funding provided by the Quest community, SPSCC students will engage in hands on learning of Artificial Intelligence through a cloud-based 3D racing simulator, fully autonomous 1/18th scale race car driven by reinforcement learning (an advanced machine learning technique) and global racing league. Students will then attend BLUEPRINT 4D 2024 to present their lessons learned and to demo their fully autonomous race cars in front of the BLUEPRINT 4D attendees. The SPSCC presentation and demonstration is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, May 9th.
- Career Day at BLUEPRINT 4D 2024: Contributions from 2023 are also helping to fund a “Career Day” experience for SPSCC’s 6th and 8th grade classes at BLUEPRINT 4D 2024. Career Day will include introducing students to the technology industry and specifically the Oracle ecosystem, facilitating demonstrations and interactive experiences with technology, and exposing students to various professions in the field of technology.
