ATLANTA, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A cohort of nearly 40 Historically Black College and University (HBCU) leaders recently culminated a year-long professional development training designed to enhance teaching skills to ensure the most impactful learning classroom experience. Launched by PROPEL Center, an innovation technology hub for HBCUs, the HBCU Faculty Fellows Academy (HFFA) serves as a cornerstone programmatic initiative that provides selected faculty members an opportunity to facilitate learning, lead and leverage Apple technology to promote student success, and expand their professional network. 

“At PROPEL Center, we remain committed to igniting opportunities in the classroom for both students and faculty through accelerated, experiential and virtual learning opportunities that infuse leading technology and industry-aligned professional training,” said PROPEL Center President Dr. Lisa Herring. “Our professors play an integral role in shaping the career trajectories of more than 300,000 students currently enrolled at HBCUs. It’s imperative that we work collaboratively with these distinguished institutions to ensure their faculty and students remain equipped to lead in a dynamic and ever-changing marketplace,” said Herring.

Highlighting the twelve-month experience was a two-day faculty showcase hosted in partnership with PROPEL Center’s founding sponsor Apple. At the end of May, in Austin, Texas, the HFFA spotlighted the cohort’s achievements and demonstrated how faculty members plan to integrate learning science principles, Apple technology, and the PROPEL Center leadership model to enhance learning outcomes at their respective institutions.

HFFA has achieved notable success. Following their participation in the program, 100% of the fellows reported an increase in their professional network, expanding their community across the HBCU ecosystem. Additionally, 100% of faculty fellows are preparing to integrate Apple technology into their classrooms, which will result in thousands of students benefiting from the enhanced teaching skills of the cohort.

The academy’s curriculum is designed by industry experts, HBCU faculty, and notable workforce collaborators, ensuring relevance and an innovative and personalized professional development experience. “The program’s curriculum design and delivery incorporate learning science principles that account for the unique learning needs of neurodiverse and culturally diverse learners,” said PROPEL Center Chief Learning and Innovation Officer Dr. Camesha Whittaker. “The curated learning experience emphasizes active, hands-on activities and challenge-based learning opportunities with a special focus placed on educators understanding ways to better support students along a unique learning journey,” said Whittaker.

Académie D’Investissement Triomphal Deploys IA 6.0 de Stratégie Quantitative Intelligent Led by Henri Lumière

Published

on

By

Académie D’Investissement Triomphal launches a new AI-powered learning platform designed to enhance critical thinking, decision modeling, and interdisciplinary strategy education.

PARIS, April 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Académie d’Investissement Triomphal, led by renowned educator Henri Lumière, announces the full integration of the IA 6.0 de Stratégie Quantitative Intelligent system into its teaching framework. This milestone reflects the Academy’s growing commitment to leveraging artificial intelligence not as a tool for prediction, but as a catalyst for thought, modeling, and reflection across disciplines.

IA 6.0 is not a trading algorithm — it is a modular educational engine designed to simulate complex scenarios, adapt to user learning styles, and help students visualize strategic outcomes through cognitive modeling. It is now embedded across selected course modules, from system dynamics and decision theory to behavioral response mapping and strategic simulations.

“AI should not replace human thought — it should challenge it,” said Henri Lumière, founder of the Academy. “With IA 6.0, our goal is not automation, but augmentation. We want learners to experiment, to doubt, and to design strategies that take ambiguity seriously.”

Built with a hybrid architecture of machine learning models and logic-based scenario trees, IA 6.0 enables students to:

Model multi-variable systems in real-time and receive feedback on logical coherence;

Explore cause-effect loops and pattern recognition in strategic environments;

Engage in simulated decision-making under uncertainty;

Reflect on non-financial applications of AI such as urban planning, social systems design, and educational forecasting.

The integration of IA 6.0 is accompanied by a learning lab environment where students, mentors, and researchers can co-develop new applications of the engine. Future versions of IA 6.X will include modules focused on ethics in algorithm design, human-AI collaboration, and narrative-based simulation logic.

This innovation is part of a broader educational reform agenda being driven by the Académie d’Investissement Triomphal, which seeks to position itself as a European center for cognitive, ethical, and systems-oriented education — with AI as a partner, not a substitute.

The institutional suite also offers deep liquidity access across multiple trading pairs, including major cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenized assets. Aggregated order books provide seamless execution across both centralized exchanges and decentralized liquidity pools, maximizing trade efficiency and reducing slippage for large orders.

To safeguard client assets, the platform implements multi-tier custody solutions that combine cold wallet storage with insured, third-party custodial services. All funds are secured through multi-signature access and daily reconciliation protocols, ensuring institutional-level protection and operational transparency.

The launch comes amid a surge in institutional interest in digital assets, driven by rising mainstream adoption, regulatory clarity, and the increasing sophistication of crypto market infrastructure. Asset managers and institutional traders are actively seeking platforms that offer the speed, reliability, and compliance capabilities required for high-volume operations.

Chameleon Finance is also introducing a dedicated account management and onboarding team to support institutional clients with integration, strategy implementation, and technical support. These services are designed to reduce entry barriers for traditional financial players looking to diversify their portfolios into digital assets.

The introduction of the institutional suite is part of a broader strategic expansion that includes upcoming derivatives products, cross-margin trading capabilities, and digital asset lending services. These developments are aimed at reinforcing Chameleon Finance’s position as a comprehensive, future-ready platform for professional digital asset investors.

By delivering infrastructure that aligns with institutional standards, Chameleon Finance is contributing to the maturation of the digital asset ecosystem and accelerating the convergence of traditional and decentralized finance.
