Yesterday, the Governor of Louisiana signed our graduation requirement legislation into law!! Louisiana becomes the 10th state in the nation to enact a high school graduation requirement in computer science. This is an incredible day for the students of Louisiana who will now learn the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly changing world shaped by technology and AI. Congratulations and many thanks to all the people who made this happen - Our highest gratitude to the bill’s author, Representative Jason Hughes, whose vision, commitment and legislative skill made this possible. And a special thanks to our partners, Code.org and Pelican State Partners, for their tenacity, advocacy and willingness to go above and beyond to earn a huge victory for the movement to ensure all students learn computer science. Onward!

Here are my top takeaways from day one of the 2024 SubTech Conference, being held this week at Northwestern’s Pritzker School of Law in Chicago: - Covid-19 was the disruption the courts needed: online courts were developed out of necessity, but only five states have maintained remote access since then. – Bridget McCormack, CEO of the American Arbitration Association (formerly Chief Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court) - It’s a technical problem to figure out how to evaluate open ended text as opposed to machine learning, which can be assessed using training and test datasets. – Hannes Westerman, Assistant Professor at Maastricht University - We need to look for commonalities to identify ways to use computational tools. - Kristian Hammond, Professor of Computer Science at Northwestern University (You can read more about the conference here: https://lnkd.in/gfzuVQyS).

Join my live webinar, "Teaching Students about Algorithmic Bias and Fairness," on February 8, 2024, at 10 a.m. PST. You will learn about the three types of computer bias and see how all of them have occurred in real systems. You will leave the session with compelling examples of how biased computer systems have harmed people of color and people with lower incomes. You will also learn an important reason why "fairness" is such an elusive target for system designers to hit. https://lnkd.in/gDq9m5-h

Check out our latest weekly update to learn which public flagship university is introducing early action this fall (hint: you may be eligible for in-state tuition there if you have a grandparent as a resident, which so many students do!). We're also discussing the the discipline of computer science and its place in academia; the first job that most adult women today held - myself included - and why it's disappearing from society; and of course, March Madness! https://lnkd.in/d5DK8H7a

Computer science education specialist and researcher for Texas Advanced Computing Center at UT Austin. Formerly, Science Teacher at Bellaire High School.
This is what my research is about. CS and CT need to be a part of many courses and not just stand alone courses.
