Driven by a vision for inclusive education, Nicole Newman and her team are launching the next phase of the Newman Global Initiative’s “Project Butterfly”: the “Hummingbird Platform.” This stage leverages conversational AI to enhance reading comprehension for students in grades 1–5, children with special needs, and seniors who speak English as a second language. By merging cutting-edge technology with empathy, the platform provides a personalized, accessible, and engaging experience designed to dismantle literacy barriers for learners of all ages.
