Expansive STEM education: The edges of our discipline meet the edges of our social possibilities is led by Dr. Carrie Tzou (University of Washington, Bothell) and Dr. Megan Bang (Northwestern University), among others. These free professional learning courses are funded by an NSF project and are designed to support educators in imagining and enacting more just STEM futures. 

 

Course 2, CS and AI towards Justice, Sovereignty, and Equity , is a free virtual 3 day PL designed for K-12 educators (and open to anyone more broadly- leaders, community-based providers, higher education, industry professionals, etc.). Registration is currently open. It will be held via zoom July 31 through August 2. Participants will engage with STEM faculty, learning scientists, and other educators to explore the social and ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning on the natural and designed world.

 

Please feel free to distribute to your area educators and professional networks as appropriate. I would love for you to join us as well! Interested participants are invited to check out the attached flyer full details and should register for the course prior to July 31 when it begins.
