📊 Since ChatGPT’s late-2022 launch, US CS grads have faced tougher job placement. Japan seems different with high employment rates, but students often apply to companies, not roles, and may be assigned wherever the company needs (even outside their degree field 😢).

Great to be back at #JJUGCCC ☕🇯🇵

@steveonjava and I spoke about AI First Programming and rethinking CS education through our AI First book series with @Apress.

📊 I also shared US data on CS grads struggling after ChatGPT, while Japan’s hiring picture seems very different.

I peeked in on Daniel Oh's talk and the room was packed full beyond belief! This might be a result of mentioning him as a great speaker in the keynote yesterday. 😂

It was great speaking at Open Source Summit Japan! At first I wasn't sure how my first lightning talk would go, but actually it had more impact than a regular session. Many people reached out to me with compliments. I hope I inspired parents to try fun technology with their kids.

My Raising Young Coders #Devoxx Belgium keynote video got posted. I hope you like it! 🎤👾✨

Giving the opening keynote at #Devoxx Belgium was a huge honor and the largest audience I have spoken. 🎤It was amazing to come to the conference that started @Devoxx4Kids and to stand on stage with @Stephan007 and talk about how parents can raise young coders.👾👩‍💻

We had a blast at JCrete4Kids yesterday. I taught the Phippy's AI Friend🦒🤖workshop- kids loved coloring and training AI. Also a Scratch😺 workshop by Robin.

🙌Thank you John Kostaras for translating, the volunteers, and @heinzkabutz for running JCrete & supporting JCrete4Kids

I just got my keynote accepted at #Devoxx Belgium! I have been teaching workshops for @Devoxx4Kids since I was 13, excited to come to the conference that started this. Join me to learn how to get your kids (and girls) excited about tech👾 👩‍💻 https://t.co/KTiRA0GVTH @Stephan007

[Cassandra Chin @cassandraonjava]

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to speak at @WeAreDevs Berlin 🇩🇪 last week. I was suprised how many eager developers came to learn about how they can introduce technology to their kids! I also had a book signing for my Raising Young Coders book.

[Cassandra Chin @cassandraonjava]

🎙️ It was great speaking with @RafaDelNero about my new Raising Young Coders book with @Apress. 📖 This was the longest deep dive conversation I have ever done (almost 2 hours!) and I hope my teaching advice on kids and tech reaches many Java developers ☕👾
