Boolean Girl

There biases & inequalities baked into the current systems because of the lack of diversity within the group that first created it. We need creative, critical thinking community builders to help shape this technology. That's exactly what coding teaches us. bit.ly/4dtWrym

📢 No, Coding Is Not Dead! ☠️ AI is changing the tech landscape, but as #Scratch inventor Mitch Resnick said, his “ultimate goals have never been specifically about coding,” but instead about “helping young people develop as creative, curious, caring and collaborative learners.”
