.@codeorg released the new Hour of Code activities today, with a focus on AI. We’re also releasing a new lesson I co-wrote on the Societal Impact of Generative AI. I’m super excited by it - I think it’s a really fun lesson - so I’m gonna talk about it here.
🚨 New Hour of Code activities are HERE! Teachers, start planning ahead and browse the incredible new activities submitted by third-party providers, all ready for your classroom events. Learn more: codeorg.medium.com/celebrate…
This is a very cool thing that some very cool people have been working on - very exciting to see it in the wild.
It's kinda buried on the webpage, but here's a video of how this works. It's pretty neat - youtu.be/Lj7uZx-BKhw
🚨Big news for computer science educators!🚨 We've teamed up with Amazon, Schmidt Futures & The Piech Lab at Stanford to launch Code.org's new AI Teaching Assistant. Know a Computer Science teacher who could use a break? 🍵 The AI Teaching Assistant cuts grading time in half, making teaching effortless. Time to get #Back2ChillWithCode! 💻 #ComputerScience #AI code.org/ai/teaching-assista…

Without community, there is no liberation...but community must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the pathetic pretense that these differences do not exist.

Thank you @codeorg for the opportunity! 🙏🏾
Computer science is for everyone, and the LGBTQ+ community thrives in this field. It's a space for self-discovery and connection. Code is the new language, and using it to build inclusive tech is crucial. Diversity fuels innovation! When a variety of voices come together, groundbreaking solutions emerge. Let's make tech fair and equitable for all. #CodeForAll
