What a cool concept: This new graphic novel follows four friends who use computer science to make the tech world—and the world more broadly—a fairer, more equitable place.

Make sure to share it with a young person in your life.

🔥🔥🔥This @CivicsOfTech blog post explains how translating the Power On! #graphicnovel into #español (¡Conectados!) was our commitment to share about the ethics of tech w/Spanish communities & uplift Latine cultures during times of injustice. #poweron

NASA’s Hidden Figures are (finally) getting their flowers.The Congressional Gold Medal, Congress’s highest honor, was awarded to the families of NASA’s Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Christine Darden.

The medal was also dedicated to all the women who worked as mathematicians, engineers, and “human computers” in the U.S. space program from the 1930s to the 1970s. What a win for women in STEM! https://t.co/RGzw73WQK7

What's a fabulous final project assignment for AP Computer Science class? Absolutely no programming necessary. Just ask students why "computer science should be for EVERYONE." Bravo! #studentagency #studentvoice #csforall #computerscience #edchat #PowerOn

[Miss Frizzle @TheNewFrizzle]

So this year, our final project in AP CSP (after we read the @PowerOnBook) was to make a PSA about inequity in CS. Here is one of our student videos. @CSforAllNYC @NYCSchools @DOEChancellor we hope you’re listening to these recommendations!! #WeAreAvailableForAdditionalConsulting

We were saddened to hear of Lynn Conway's passing earlier this month. She was a computer scientist, electrical engineer, inventor, and transgender activist whose life and innovative work in chip design serves as a reminder of the pressing need for diversity in tech. #PowerOn
