Haiven was developed in July 2020 during the Project Phase of the AI4Good Lab.

The AI4Good Lab is a 7-week summer training program that brings together a cohort of 30 women from across Canada. The program consists of a mashup of lectures, workshops, self-directed team projects. Instructors and mentors include university researchers, graduate students, and practitioners from startups, corporates, intergovernmental organizations and city government. There's also a strong emphasis on curiosity-driven learning and mentorship both from peers and industry experts.
