We mourn the passing of Frank Gehry (1929-2025), the architect who designed the Ray & Maria Stata Center. He was a visionary known for playing w/a mix of curvy edges, steel, & occasional bright colors, including the ones you see across Stata. Gehry's other iconic designs include the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, & the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris, France. The distinctive, colorful look of Stata reflects the creative fire Gehry brought to each building he envisioned. Undaunted by convention, he wanted his architectural projects to "defy categorization." Gehry's work certainly did — though "futuristic" would be a fitting description. His work continues to foster the innovations taking place every day at CSAIL. Daniela Rus, MIT Prof. & CSAIL Director, on the ways he impacted our community: "As we reflect on Frank Gehry’s extraordinary legacy, I’m grateful for the daily reminder of his vision & for the creativity his work continues to inspire. My condolences go out to his family, colleagues, & the many communities shaped by his remarkable contributions to architecture & design."

🚀 Big smiles from our pilot mentorship program for Appathon finalists! Teams were paired with mentors from #MITAppInventor & @Braze to prep for the MIT AI & Education Summit. Shoutout to Move to Heal 🇹🇷 mentored by @SelimTezel + ChoCook & HapiFure 🇯🇵 mentored by @daki7711!

5/15/25: MIT RAISE & App Inventor teams mark the 25th year at MIT of our talented program manager, Marisol Diaz who joined App Inventor in the early days of the project and has helped steer it ever since. Congrats on the impressive milestone! Le deseamos un feliz aniversario!

@TansuYegen Haha! Can't be done.Basically the famous Koenigsberg Bridge problem solved by Euler in 1736. Any traversable graph must have either exactly two or no odd vertices. An odd vertex is a junction point on a graph where an odd number of edges meet. Here we see four odd vertices.

A Chinese kids’ game is trending everywhere and driving people crazy to figure it out! Can you crack it too? 🧠🎯

Congratulations to all the participants of the Global AI Hackathon 2025 and to our wonderful App Inventor Foundation partners who really took our annual Appathons to the next level. I need to also say how proud I am of the Turkish team who won the Youth Team category. Go Turkiye!

We’re excited to welcome Riya Soth as our new Communications Associate! 🎉 A strong advocate for community-building, Riya will manage our social media, website, and newsletters to amplify the voices of learners and educators worldwide.

In 1985 Steve Jobs shared a vision for an AI tool that could capture the “underlying worldview” of a historical figure like Aristotle and answer students’ questions as that character. Amazingly, in just 40 years tools like ChatGPT & Gemini have done that. youtu.be/iosUmVdobnM?si…

Now AI can create a song based on a description.

.@MITAppInventor and @MitRaise wrapped up an exciting week at @DubaiHAcademy! 🇦🇪 Over the course of eight sessions, 200 students across middle school and high school learned about physical computing, #ChatGPT and #DallE, and even robot dogs controlled by #Microbit!

🐶 Teach a dog to sit and shake its paw in #MITAppInventor's latest tutorial! In this advanced project, you will learn to use a type of #MachineLearning called Reinforcement Learning that uses rewards and penalties to guide the learning process. 👉🏼 ow.ly/WASQ50THb8S

Celebrate #DayOfAI on 5/13! While educators around the world share this MIT-developed curriculum with their classes, @museumofscience will host student demos + discussions with experts like Media Lab Director @davaexplorer and Prof. @cynthiabreazeal. media.mit.edu/events/day-of-…

Join us as a presenter this summer at our MIT AI & Education Summit.

@PhysInHistory Deep insights into what today we call space (or vacuum) and how the laws of nature are embedded into the fabric of space.

What a day it was. Here is the blog about this event: appinventor.mit.edu/blogs/selim/20…

Wow! Team, you are amazing!

Finally an in-person summer AI Summit at MIT. Can't wait!

👩🏻‍💻 Submissions are open for the Global AI Hackathon! 🔗 Learn more about the submission requirements and submit your project by April 19: raise.mit.edu/events/global-….

Wow! This is big. The winners will be invited to MIT for an AI & Education Summit in July, all expenses paid!
