Let's talk about the final two sessions I attended. The Future of Computer Science Education in an Age of AI This was a panel. Pat Yongpradit and BT Twarek co-moderated a panel consisting of Julie York, Maya Israel, Allen Antoine, and Jacob Shulman. It was a good mix. Julie York is a High School teacher, Maya Israel, a researcher, Allen Antoine is the Director of CS Ed Strategy at UT Austin's Texas Advanced Computing Scenter, and Jacob Shulman is a tech entrepreneur as the founder of Jippity and long time private tutor.

Thursday, day 3. This was my last conference day since I had to leave bright and early on Friday. Four more sessions. As I started to write them up I thought things were getting a little long so this post will just cover the two morning sessions and the next one, the other two. Strype First up "Strype: Frame-Based Editing for Python." A session run by Neil Brown, creator of Strype with Miles Berry and Colleen Lewis acting basically as TAs during the hands on session.

Four sessions up for today. First one "Certified to Rock: Cleveland's Journey in CS Teacher Prep." Basically a discussion of the pathways for teachers to become CS certified in Cleveland. It wasn't a crowded session and most of the attendees were affiliated with Cleveland's certification programs in one way or another. Then there were a handful of people like me from assorted locations who wanted to hear more. I mention this not as a criticism but to wonder about the composition of conference attendees.
