To our incredible students — Ndagukeje!
Today marks the LAST CLASS of our inaugural Women Building Change program. Our students have persevered through power outages and connectivity issues all while learning data science.

21st CCLC is federal funding used to support afterschool programs. Without immediate legislative action, thousands of IL youth will lose access to programming & 1,238 afterschool staff members will lose their jobs. Tell your elected officials p2a.co/grxm3kj

So inspired by the Hackathon for Accessibility, a vision made reality by Shireen Hafeez of @deafkidscode @WeCodeDreams held at @google! Loved meeting Deaf/HOH students @ChiPubSchools, @ChicagoParks D/HOH prog. Today’s participants are brainstorming tomorrow’s access.

If you are a parent with a child that has a phone no matter the age, please download Google Family Link and monitor what your child is really doing with their device. Where I work, there are kids in Grade ONE consuming pornographic material already because they are left /1
