57 years ago today, humans first landed on the Moon. The source code that helped get them there? It’s on GitHub.
Margaret Hamilton led the MIT team responsible for Apollo’s onboard flight software. The Apollo Guidance Computer software eventually grew to about 145,000 lines of code. 👀
Explore the original Apollo 11 guidance software for the Command and Lunar Modules. 🌕

Check out this feel-good story:
4 years ago, @codeorg and @coldplay promoted a global competition for students to code a dance choreography to Coldplay’s Higher Power….
This 5 minute video is worth watching. It explains Anthropic’s research into how AI works. AI has become so advanced we no longer truly know how it works. We build it and then study it to try to understand what we built! 🤯 https://t.co/cJrfTHSzkG
Congrats to @csteachersorg on the final 2026 PK-12 CS Standards — a real step forward for how AI gets taught in K-12, from core concepts to a full specialty strand. Proud that our own Dr. Jamila Cocchiola was onstage at #CSTA2026 for the event. See the standards: https://t.co/KOPOCwQmHl
On July 1, Mississippi signed the Future Innovators Act into law — and we're proud to have helped shape it. Every child in the state now has a clearer path to the skills that define opportunity in the AI era. Thank you, @tatereeves, @BSSglobalLLC, @AnthonyAOwen, @BethanyS_MS, @chrisj1600.
💡 Digital literacy is using tech safely. Digital fluency is understanding AI, directing it, questioning it, and creating with it.
📖 See what it means for your classroom.
🤝 I'm excited to partner with @codeorg for this post.

Students are already using AI. Few have been taught how it works. @classtechtips breaks down digital fluency — every student's ability to understand, direct, question, and create with AI — and where teachers can start this fall: https://t.co/y2nG1mgDdd
The biggest criticism of vibe coding is that students aren't actually learning to code.
I sat in a @codeorg classroom at #ISTE 2026 for 45 minutes and built a website with a Socratic AI partner that refused to just do it for me. I had to have a framework first.
That criticism just got a real answer.

Amy, a teacher from Connecticut, said it best at #ISTELive26.
84% of students have used AI. Only 16% have been taught how it works. CodeAI is working to close that gap.
AI literacy is not just a day, it’s a movement. Participate year round with @DayofAI_USA Youth AI Festival July 17-19, @codeorg Hour of AI in December, and National AI Literacy Day on March 5, 2027. Learn more: https://t.co/DrFAxRlS1y.

Last day at #ISTELive26. Interactive experience + educational sessions in room W208BC, through midday.
If you haven't stopped by yet — come and see us!
This gap closes when educators decide students deserve to understand the technology reshaping their world — not just use it.
That's what's happening at #ISTELive26. Only one more day to come see us in room W208BC.
Our president and CEO Karim Meghji on providing students with the digital fluency they need to understand the technology shaping their lives:
"What's happening in that black box? Let's make it a glass box. That can be a powerful way to teach students about how it works, not just using the tools."
On stage right now at #ISTELive26: @KarimMeghji and a room of educators reckoning with what 'student-centered AI' actually requires. This is the hard work.
I spent some time at @codeorg and their classroom exploring the amazing free resources we can use to teach kids about AI. Using AI and knowing how it works are not the same thing. These experiences are fantastic and I highly recommend you check... #ISTELive#ASCDAnnual#sponsored
W311AB — today at 3pm. Our CEO @KarimMeghji joins a conversation about what it actually means to put students at the center of AI in schools. Be there. #ISTELive26
