This week Meta announced a new AR effect created in collaboration with Girls Who
Code and The Chadwick Boseman Foundation for the Arts (CBFA) in honor of the
actor, director, writer, and producer Chadwick A. Boseman. “The Crown” AR Effect
draws inspiration from the foundation’s logo and is representative of the Global
African Diaspora, which can be used on Instagram and Facebook.

Girls Who Code selected four young coders and creators from Howard University
(Boseman’s alma mater) and gave them access to AR content, development tools,
and resources via Meta Spark. Over several weeks, Meta introduced them to the
potential of AR using Meta Spark Studio through hands-on training and mentorship
with the guidance of Meta Spark Partner and Curriculum Educator Ommy Akhe.



You can find the new AR effect on the Girls Who Code and The Chadwick Boseman
Foundation for the Arts’ Instagram profiles. To commemorate what would’ve been
Boseman’s 46th birthday, people can donate to the @bosemanfdn fundraiser to
support the artistic growth of Black storytellers —100% of the funds raised on
Instagram and Facebook go directly to the nonprofit. You can also support Girls
Who Code and its mission to close the gender gap in technology by making an
online donation.



This is the latest in a series of Girls Who Code and Meta initiatives to support
young women of color as they explore different pathways into the tech industry
and the arts by introducing them to the fundamentals of AR content development
and future projects that exist within AR.

Read more about the AR effect and how to donate to CBFA and Girls Who Code in
the Tech @ Meta blog.

The partnership comes during a rough patch for Meta. According to Yahoo, the
Facebook parent company has lost nearly 70% of its value this year alone. Mark
Zuckerberg hopes the advancement of AR and teaching young people the
fundamentals could spark innovation and continue to help the company grow.



Zuck doesn’t always get it right, but this partnership is one that could only
lead to good things for Meta.

Last but not least:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHADWICK BOSEMAN, A LEGEND WE LOST WAY TOO SOON!
