Gender stereotypes aren't just visible, they're audible too Toy advert music isn't just background noise. It tells you who the advert is aimed at. A machine learning model hears it even when you barely notice it's different. Luca Marinelli tells us more in our latest blog cs4fn.blog/2026/03/31/t...

Happy #CSEdWeek! Since 2020, I’ve been sharing some of our lab’s research on gender equity in CS to celebrate. Despite progress in access/participation, disparities remain in K-12 CS education. (1/12) #WomeninSTEM #AcademicSky #PsychSciSky #DevPsychSky #SocialPsyc #EduSky #CompSky #GirlsLeadSTEM

Students have been blowing me away with their work this year. The creativity and individual expression are amazing. It's been great seeing their excitement when sharing their creations. #Edusky #CSed #TeamCompSci

It seems like Mark Gudzial's article has been sparking a lot of discussion about sense of belonging versus personal relevance in #CSed, but I still don't understand why one would need to replace the other. #TeamCompSci

I love simple platformers for mixing student creativity & choice with and basic programming constructs. I'm wondering whether this is the first time they see conditionals, inside a loop. It seems like it would lead to confusion with the events. Would love to hear more. #csed #teamcompsci

Is this even a choice in most curricula? Most I've seen say 'functions' with a smattering of 'procedures' here and there. Granted, these are US-heavy. #csed #teamCompSci
