Still stuck in St. Louis and still haven't finished my SIGCSE series but there have been a few threads in the various CS Education groups about the big changes in code.org and how AI might be making learning CS the way we've been teaching it obsolete. Rubbish and here's a couple of stories as to why. Let's go back to the start of this century. 9/11 had just placed America into a state of shock.

I was going to wait to write this up until I got home. The conference ended on Saturday and it's now Monday afternoon and we're still in St. Louis due to the east coast blizzard. Right now we're booked on a flight home for Wednesday morning but I think there's more snow expected then so we'll see. As to the keynotes, well two keynotes and one panel, they were all solid and thought or maybe better, discussion provoking.

Time for another SIGCSE - the big Computer Science Education conference. This time in St. Louis. St. Louis Arch This is something like my 10th SIGCSE and the fourth I've attended with my daughter who's in her first year as a grad student, pursuing her PhD in CS with a focus on education. At this point, I think she knows more people here than I do. Actually, that was something I was thinking about.
