This Girls Who Code student went viral for inventing an electronic device that uses radar to help people with visual impairments navigate without the need for a cane or guide dog. According to the Tamron Hall Show, Tiffani Gay's invention has the potential to assist over two billion people worldwide. bit.ly/47own2z

I am excited to announce that @KeepINLearning will be hosting the first AI in Education Symposium. The entire day will be spent learning about AI's benefits, opportunities, and possibilities in the educational space. There will be chances to share your thoughts, listen and learn with experts, and develop a deeper understanding of how AI fits in today's classroom and beyond. More information to come, but save the date now and watch for registration in the coming weeks.
