Amazing audience and fully packed room at @aiDotEngineer London! Massive interest in #ContextGraphs for all the talks in our track. Also, amazing to see context graphs appear on the @Gartner_inc AI Hype Cycle. 🎉

Today at @aiDotEngineer NYC Kids Day, I taught kids to build games with @OpenAI Codex! 🎮 From basketball to skiing to Bluey-inspired games, some kids even demoed games on the big screen. Seeing them excited to keep building at home is why I teach. Thanks @liamcbride & @swyx! ✨

[Cassandra Chin @cassandraonjava]

The AI Engineer Kids Day event was featured in the @aiDotEngineer World's Fair newspaper! 📰 The kids were possibly more proficient with AI than us. ✨🧑‍💻

@CrasperJoome @steipete @yoheinakajima releasing graphs track next week!! thanks to @steveonjava for helping to curate it

Leave it to the @aiDotEngineer team to come up with a puzzle that stumps frontier models. 🤣 @swyx @liamcbride

[Cassandra Chin @cassandraonjava]

Dad brought home the @aiDotEngineer Speaker Dinner gift. ChatGPT was great at making Godot games for AI Engineer Kids Day, so I used it on the puzzle.

GPT-5.5 thought 6m18s: “2x3 rectangle.”

Mom stared 1 min: “make a cube.”

Use AI for coding, not thinking 🤣

Amazing AI Engineer Kids Day! 🚀
Kids learned Machine Learning, Claude Code & Codex, then built games like corn mazes 🌽 and banana simulators 🍌 in just a few hours.
So inspiring to see their creativity unlocked with AI. 🧑‍💻🌈
Thanks @aiDotEngineer, @Neo4j & @catsandtech! 🙌

[Cassandra Chin @cassandraonjava]

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.

You can tell Graph + AI is hot when the geekiest graph conference in the universe (#KGC) is sold out and there is a meetup across town with @cognee_, @DeepVellum, @nori, and @modal on Agentic AI with graphs that is also packed.

[Stephen Chin @steveonjava]

Great to be on the main stage at the 16th edition of #GIDS developersummit speaking on #GraphRAG, #ContextGraphs, and #Agent Memory. Had a lot of great questions and positive feedback on the #Matrix theme from the developer community here in Bangalore. 😎🤘🎉

A huge thanks to @saltmarchmedia for running this amazing community conference. 🙌

[Cassandra Chin @cassandraonjava]

Keynoted at #GIDS India with @steveonjava amazing, engaged dev community 🇮🇳. Great feedback on our AI-first “prompt, learn, grow” approach. Thanks @MichaelCarducci for the fantastic photos!

[Stephen Chin @steveonjava]

Had a great interview with John Furrier at @mcpsummit in NYC. We covered a lot of topics on open source AI, Kubernetes and AI deployments, and #Graph technology as the Knowledge Layer for AI, but we got into something I am super passionate about, which is improving AI education in our schools.

I linked the video at the start of the segment, but I think a great quote for my message is:
"This isn't a failing of our students, this is a failing of our education system."

We are graduating a generation of computer scientists who are not fluent in AI tools and therefore don't have marketable skills for where the software industry is heading. The first introduction to coding should be prompting, not Python syntax. And students should be given token budgets, not textbooks.

Great to see Graphs featured in the @devnexus keynote as a best practice for Agentic Memory in the new Embabel framework from @springrod. 🎉

[Cassandra Chin @cassandraonjava]

Honored to give the closing keynote at #Jfokus 🎪✨ Talked about AI-First Learning, using AI as a tool to learn. Shared the stage with @brjavaman 🦜, thanked my inspirations (@Logico_jp, @JMHReif, @cayhorstmann, @mariofusco ☕️📕), and co-spoke with my dad @steveonjava

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.

[Cassandra Chin @cassandraonjava]

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.👾👩‍💻
