Thrilled to share the success of the AI Academy at Irvington! From March to June 2024, students explored AI and emerging technologies through a blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. The grand finale was a testament to their creativity and collaboration, featuring Glowforge creations and Photon robots. This program has truly inspired our young innovators to tackle future challenges in AI and STEM fields. Read all about it in "The AI Academy: A Journey of Innovation and Inspiration," a blog written by our very own Taryn Federico. https://lnkd.in/eijMEGwr

On behalf of aiEDU.org, I'm honored to be presenting alongside Craig E. Burford, Shannon Cox, and Candice Sears at the AESA (Association of Educational Service Agencies) Summer Leadership Conference on "Leading Through Change" from July 16-18, in New Haven, CT. Join us next week for our session, "Empowering AI Champions: A Collaborative Blueprint for Statewide AI Literacy and Readiness," where we will showcase the groundbreaking partnership between the Ohio Educational Service Center Association (OESCA), aiEDU.org, and the Montgomery County Educational Service Center, designed to elevate AI literacy and readiness across Ohio. Explore how this innovative statewide project in Ohio not only enhances AI education but also fosters a community of practice among educational leaders, setting a precedent for AI readiness initiatives nationwide. Looking forward to listening and learning from innovative and inspiring leaders at AESA! #aesasummer24 #AIEDU #OESCA #MCESC #InnovateOhio #EducationalInnovation #AILiteracy #AmplifyAndElevateInnovation Ohio Department of Education and Workforce TIES Teaching Institute for Excellence in STEM Alex Kotran Christian Pinedo Henry "CJ" Jackson Jan Morrison Christa Krohn Amy Fox Anyanwu Stacey Plotnick Finkel Derek Chancellor Jon Husted Chris Woolard Dr. Wendy Hanasky

Partnership 1: What Is Next (WIN) x STEMM Opportunity Alliance (SOA) Very excited to announce that WIN is partnering with SOA to build a STEMM ecosystem rooted in #equity, #inclusion and scientific #excellence to power #progress, #innovation, and #prosperity for all by 2050. Specifically, WIN's CEO committed to Pillar 1 - Engagement: Nurturing Curiosity in Every Child. In addition to sharing best practices in Pillar 1, WIN is committed to contributing in other pillars as part of SOA's National Strategy. Through WIN's weekly cohort, students are able to explore careers in #STEM and open pathways to #future #opportunities. Extremely proud to work on this goal with many other amazing organizations. To learn more about WIN and our launch in SEPTEMBER, check out our website.

Another great day at Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) STEM bootcamp! TIES Teaching Institute for Excellence in STEM Office of Naval Research #BEST Dr. Katherine Bihr Toby Ratcliffe Bothel Jason Porter Charlotte George Ashlee Floyd #JeffCampana DoD STEM #DSEC One important change this year from last is that the building we work in was recently renamed to honor a civilian naval engineer-the Raye Montague Center for Maritime Technology. This amazing Naval “Hidden Figures” story shares that Raye Montague became the first person to design a ship using a computer. During the Vietnam War, President Nixon requested new ships in record time. When asked to generate a design in less than two months, Raye used CASDAC to complete a design of the Oliver Hazard Perry-Class frigate in only 18 hours and 26 minutes! As these amazing students from DMV area schools develop soldering, coding and building skills on their Sea Glides maybe one of them is a future Raye Montague. Very excited for day 3!

Dr. James L. Moore III, director of the National Science Foundation’s Directorate for STEM Education, will be joining the Chicago convening of the STEM Learning Ecosystems Community of Practice. Dr. Moore, who has been in regular conversation with the leadership of the STEM Learning Ecosystems, spoke during a January 2024 webinar and said: "We're at a crossroads where we must double down on investments in domestic populations lacking support for STEM careers, especially in underserved communities." In accepting the invitation to participate in the Chicago convening, titled “Access in Action,” Dr. Moore said he looks forward to rolling up his sleeves and involving members of his team in developing and designing solutions that will offer support to the “missing millions” of learners who are kept out of STEM because of systemic barriers. Stay tuned for more information about his address, and register for the convening today! https://lnkd.in/e4M4yaBW
