DONOR REPORT FALL 2018 CELEBRATING YOUR GIFTS IN ACTION I AM A STUDENT OF COLOR And I Earned My Seat At MIT Dumpster Diving. Most kids do it. After all, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. But for Ricky, dumpster diving had a specifi c purpose. He was hunting particular treasure. Parts he could use to create his own robotics. Parts his family could not afford to buy. Years earlier, Ricky’s parents gave him his fi rst video game, and they quickly learned a valuable lesson. That “M” on the box does not stand for “Mild.” It stands for “Mature.” Ricky’s love of playing video games evolved into a fascination with how they work. His computer science journey began with Scratch, a visual programming language he used to create games. He started building simple robots, often fi nding parts from items others had discarded. He joined the school robotics team. He participated in the Facebook Academy Externship, where his team designed an app allowing grocery shoppers to scan an item and instantly check out. Amazon would release Amazon GO just a short time later, dashing the team’s hopes of becoming billionaires before high school graduation. While an intern at Nvidia, as part of a team creating At FCE, Ricky found people who supported him along the way and knew how hard he worked to get into MIT. a miniature self-driving vehicle to locate natural disaster survivors, a new fascination took root, artifi cial intelligence (A.I.). Along his journey, Ricky encountered people who said he only secured his spot (on the robotics team, at Facebook Academy, at Nvidia) because he was a student of color.
