Upcoming Lunchtime Conversation with Tom Dillon ’98

Tom Dillon '98, founder of the Literacy Lab, a nonprofit that works to close the literacy gap among low-income children from age 3 through grade 3, will return to Potomac to discuss his new project, Otto Learning. The social venture seeks to address the literacy crisis through custom AI-powered voice recognition technology that empowers emerging readers to practice foundational reading skills out loud. On January 5, Mr. Dillion will lead a Lunchtime Conversation with US students. His remarks about his career, new venture, and the volunteer support needed should be of special interest to students involved with service learning, computer science, and the EFEB concentration.
