CSTA GLA hosted Valeri Tomici, Senior Manager from Girls Who Code, for our February 2024 Chapter Meeting where we learned about the work of Girls Who Code and how you can easily set up a Girls Who Code club at your school, library, or community center for free!
CSTA GLA hosted a presentation from CYBER.ORG about bringing cybersecurity into the classroom. Our speakers shared information about federally grant-funded resources, cybersecurity curricula, resources, and even a cyber range that we can use for free with our students. We also got a hands-on experience with a Credential Harvesting Lab that uses the CYBER.ORG Range.
In this session we dove into ways we can teach about the impacts of computing through the lens of artificial intelligence (AI). We were joined by Daniel Ritchie, the chair of AIforCA, who shared activities we can use in our K-12 computer science classes to meet impacts of computing standards and teach about AI.
