They were given 1 million Colombian pesos ($300) prize money to develop a prototype using the STEM and robotic skills they are learning from Marina Orth Foundation. A YEAR OF CHALLENGE AND TRIUMPH Founder’s Letter MAKING INNOVATION A NECCESITY 2020 could have been a 2020 was filled with challenge and obstacles but we were able to show tragic year for the Marina Orth our students that difficulties could be overcome through commitment, Foundation.

We won $1 million proportion of the 4000 students we serve in 20 schools Colombia Pesos as finalists for the in rural Medellin and on the Pacific coast had no “Choco Wave Program” which internet connectivity whatsoever. promotes science and physics. Never have I been more proud of our dedicated staff and international volunteers. While quarantined themselves, they immediately banded together virtually to start figuring out creative and innovative ways to teach STEM, robotics, English and leadership. They organized groups to teach via WhatsApp on cell phones; they helped beleaguered public school teachers by writing months’ worth of curriculum guides delivered via motorcycle and bikes to rural markets and drop off points. In the isolated Pacific coast town of Nuqui, Choco, one of the rainiest places on earth with no access to clean potable water, 4th, 5th and 6th graders won a cash prize for designing a home potable water device. Wonderful American high schoolers, Friends of Colombia and a private school in Medellin all practiced virtual English conversation with our most enthusiastic English learners. We also provided 160 hours of bootcamp training in tech and life planning to vulnerable young mothers and wounded military and police combatants.

  • Targeted Sampling from Massive Block Model Graphs with Personalized Pagerank∗
    Targeted sampling from massive block model graphs with personalized PageRank∗ Fan Chen1, Yini Zhang2, and Karl Rohe1 1Department of Statistics 2School of Journalism and Mass Communication University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA Abstract This paper provides statistical theory and intuition for Personalized PageRank (PPR), a popular technique that samples a small community from a massive network. We study a setting where the entire network is expensive to thoroughly obtain or maintain, but we can start from a seed node of interest and \crawl" the network to find other nodes through their connections. By crawling the graph in a designed way, the PPR vector can be approximated without querying the entire massive graph, making it an alternative to snowball sampling. Using the degree-corrected stochastic block model, we study whether the PPR vector can select nodes that belong to the same block as the seed node. We provide a simple and interpretable form for the PPR vector, highlighting its biases towards high degree nodes outside of the target block. We examine a simple adjustment based on node degrees and establish consistency results for PPR clustering that allows for directed graphs. These results are enabled by recent technical advances showing the element-wise convergence of eigenvectors. We illustrate the method with the massive Twitter friendship graph, which we crawl using the Twitter API. We find that (i) the adjusted and unadjusted PPR techniques are complementary approaches, where the adjustment makes the results particularly localized around the seed node and (ii) the bias adjustment greatly benefits from degree regularization. Keywords Community detection; Degree-corrected stochastic block model; Local clustering; Network sampling; Personalized PageRank arXiv:1910.12937v2 [cs.SI] 1 Jul 2020 1 Introduction Much of the literature on graph sampling has treated the entire graph, or all of the people in it, as the target population.
