So empowered to learn from this amazing panel on Saturday at @codeninjas NinjaCon! What a historic moment to watch @sarasmolz facilitate a panel of CS researchers and trailblazers. @KIKIvsIT @lisaannefloyd @nimmi_ar @MSMakeCode

[Lisa Anne Floyd @lisaannefloyd]

Grateful for this opportunity to speak on a panel alongside Kiki Prottsman and @nimmi_ar with Sara Smolevitz moderating. We’ll be discussing strategies for creating more inclusive coding environments by using computational thinking and creativity to build equity.@codeninjas

.@sarasmolz and I shared the journey of shifting computing culture in @codeninjas centers using the creative learning spiral and 4 Ps, as developed by @mres, today at #CSTA2022! Lifelong Kindergarten will always be one of our biggest inspirations for fostering creative learning!

@thegrene @billmarsland @csteachersorg @ScratchJr @PBSKIDS @MoWillems Super cute idea! I took pictures of Brown Bear to make Eric Carle characters in a @ScratchJr project 😁

“The mind does not require filling like a bottle, but rather, like wood, it only requires kindling”. -Plutarch referenced at the closing of Dr. Tim Bell's keynote at #CSTA2021

Have you seen the interactive pixel viewer widget from the CS Field Guide? So cool! Dr. Tim Bell showed this in his keynote at #CSTA2021: https://t.co/2qU5CzV3k0
