@librarycongress @AEF_Program I went back for more!

During #TeacherAppreciationWeek, we’re proud to recognize Shelly Strand. Shelly is serving in our office as an Einstein fellow & providing her expertise as an AP physics teacher by working on education policy that would benefit students, educators, & families across the country.

Ralph Pantozzi, the Library’s 2024-2025 Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow and New Jersey math teacher, finds inspiration in the arithmetic section of the Adams Building book stacks.

Kudos to CSATS'K-8 STEM Outreach Specialist Stephanie Klixbull demonstrating the Seaworthy STEM-in-a-Box for educators at the 2023 STEM Exchange conference in DC. She was a on the development team that created these as a DoD Einstein Fellow. bit.ly/3XXnh6Q Oh Barnacles!

Thank you to the @AEF_Program and the #Einsteinfellows25 for supporting #NSB2026 !

Did you know the @doescience sponsors both the #EinsteinFellows25 and the @DOE_SC_NSB? For 37 years, they’ve supported programs for students and teachers! science.osti.gov/wdts

@cleoabram #EinsteinFellows25 LOVE a great test!

The Einstein Test doesn't feel too far away. AI isn't just mimicking human knowledge. It's obvious when you look at AlphaZero. **By creating its own dataset through self-play (not human moves!)** AlphaZero went from: - Breakfast time: Playing chess randomly - Lunch time: Competing with Demis - Dinner time: Better than the world champion (and interesting new moves) Here’s Demis Hassabis explaining it in our HUGE* Conversation and why we need this in new models:

The #EinsteinFellows25 love our time @librarycongress. The conservation and preservation labs are one of our favorite spots! #STEMeducaton

“We have never been better positioned to meet the needs of kids than we are today.” - @DonorsChoose CEO @alixguerrier to @sarakgoo on how AI can help teachers meet the needs of diverse learners
