Hey everyone! It’s computer science education week soon! Get your students, and anyone curious to learn new tech skills involved while working on a fun project.
CSedWeek is about so much more than coding! We are offering two sessions!

“AI for Oceans”
Learn about AI, machine learning, training data, and bias, while exploring ethical issues and how AI can be used to address world problems grades 5th -12. Dec 9th 11:30am est.

“Large Language Models: Math, not Magic”
Students explore how large language models (LLMs) generate text one token at a time and represent meaning mathematically. They apply this knowledge by creating an artifact that refutes common misconceptions about how LLMs work.
grades 9-12 . Dec 9th 1:30pm est

It was an incredible honor for us to help raise awareness! 🤟🏽

Another remarkable program we hosted in partnership with South Dakota Deaf Resource and Outreach Program!

A lot happened when we hosted a special program with South Dakota Deaf Resource and Outreach @sddeafresource for high schoolers that were from around the state. There were several students who came from native reservations and several reside in some of the poorest counties in the country. Our dynamic team @deafveloper offered an introduction to artificial intelligence that included AI literacy. This portion is part of a larger pilot where we have put a heavier emphasis on scaling AI into our curriculum. It’s vital that our students are armed with knowledge, skills, and literacy with our rapidly changing world! They use @codepen for web development, and very quickly learned the basics of #html #java #css #js while building their own websites. They also managed the scrub images and videos using AI tools. They are already ahead of the game and now have new skills to add to their resumes. Everything we do matters and our goal is for students to become inspired, and motivated to keep learning after we are gone! The feedback is always amazing. One student said, “I never felt so confident presenting before.” Every student builds something uniquely theirs and gets room to experiment which is where the magic happens. Show them, then get out of the way! #codepen #southdakota #stemeducation #disabilities #workforcedevelopment #skilldevelopment #rapidcity #deaf

Watching kids thrive through coding is truly rewarding! Here’s a visual compilation of our incredible experience at Chicago Park District.

A huge thank you to Sarah Faber for the wonderful collaboration—this wouldn’t have been possible without you!

We loved every minute with ASDB Tucson Campus! Great community to work with!
