For those who joined us for the @ACAIWorkshop yesterday - here's a great blog post KCJ recently published around engaging kids through an AI lens:

@CBCHomestretch - I am reminded of the piece you did last week about breakaway popularity of games and free apps during COVID. Now - the very first AI conference held in #animalcrossing. This new world never ceases to amuse me! https://t.co/N09GMqrIqJ

[Kimberley Vircoe @KCJ_Kim]

Guess what?! I’ll be hosting the @kidscoding coffee break at the ACAI conference for AI research held in... wait for it... animal crossing! Say what?? Yup - our CKO @JulietWaters will be talking about kids, ethics and AI at the conference. https://t.co/ouAtDutvpe

Day 9 of #GettingUnstuck @ScratchEdTeam @scratch was inspired my my putting off a shopping trip. The #coding #challenge today was to make and use a #list. The biggest challenge was getting the correct fruit to show up! Check it out!https://t.co/HdHOIfFe7I

🚧 When we think of construction, coding isn't the first skill that comes to mind but check out this example of coding in unexpected places! Showcasing how computational thinking skills prepare our kids to be successful in ANY industry is why we do what we do.#codecreateplay 🏗️

[Career Trek @CareerTrek]

We had the best time partnering with @KidsCoding and @TradeUpMB for our first Coding Camp together!

We hope our participants had the best time and we can't wait for more partnerships like this!
