This past weekend, we got some upsetting news: Girls Who Code’s series of books about coding were banned by a Pennsylvania school district and added to PEN America's Index of School Book Bans.
We have some thoughts to share. finance.yahoo.com/news/girls…

The ocean is definitely full of amazing things. Where do you think science fiction gets it inspiration from! #coral
Sometimes when you've been tracing #corals for more or less 12 months straight you start to see some weird stuff. & then you get a little distracted. #themontiporahaveeyes

Collaboration made this research possible at a scale beyond the scope of any one agency - showing the power of a multi-institutional rapid response approach to investigating #coralbleaching in #Hawaii @NOAAFish_PIFSC @ASU_GDCS @dlnr @Scripps_Ocean @himb_soest & NPS
Corals bleached less in 2019 than anticipated, but bleaching events are increasingly occurring in the Hawaiian Islands. Learn more here: fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-s…
I teach 4-8th graders how to #CodeforSocialGood with @RHokJr It isn't enough that we teach kids how to code, we need to show them how technology can make a positive impact in someones life! I do that through #kidscodingforacause hackathons and #GirlsWhoCode Clubs.
What opportunities are there to "learn to code" in our state? This hour, hear from the owner of several Coder Schools in Connecticut, and a computer science class involved in the annual @LtGovCC computing challenge. ctpublic.org/show/where-we-l…
