I was honored to speak at Mplify GNE about building an AI-ready innovation workforce. Was extra meaningful as Mplify, formerly MEF, was co-founded by my dad in 2001. (Been pitching this talk for a while but my dad has always been careful to avoid any appearance of nepotism! Someone else invited me!)

Excited to announce I'll be speaking at Open Source Summit Japan, plus joining Emily Lovell, Shu Muto, Junya Okabe, and Masaki Kimura for a panel discussion.

Had a great time at the National Science Foundation ExLENT PI meeting this week for @codeday.org’s work getting Community College Baccalaureate students into AI careers!

On my way back from #hitec, where I had the opportunity to share about our NSF funded work and learn from other emerging technology educators!

Had a great time at @codeforamerica.org #CfASummit last week. Meeting the folks writing software to deliver services to hundreds of millions of Americans was refreshing, and I'm excited to find ways for @codeday.org students to contribute to the many critical open source projects in this space.

I got a $2,500 treadmill for free because the controller (which is an extremely cheap Android tablet) died and iFIT charges $1,000 for a replacement. So my Friday night project is replacing it with a $10 PCB.
