It's #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience and Anna Michel, a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (#WHOI) scientist was accepted in #RBR2020! “Very few women go into engineering, because girls just don’t get the message that they could be engineers” says Anna Michel.

Some great pointers here for anyone looking to move their assessments online in the next few days.

Happy Pi Day!

Playing with NS data: Good that number of test per day is going up (testing more people) and better that the percentage of positive tests per day is going down.

Always a pleasure working with Giselle JeanBaptiste and Val Thomas (she/her) - most recently on the panel on "Competencies for the Digital Age and What You Need to Innovate" at the virtual Infonex Inc. Agile Approaches for Digital Government Services Conference.

I'm running an #ITiCSE2021 working group with Angela Siegel on what post-COVID computing education should look like. We're looking for applicants to join #wg1, with an aim to have a draft report at the end of June! More details on how to join here: iticse.acm.org/working-group-…

Our first #SIGCSE2021 BoF went well! 90 minutes of non stop idea and discussion with many conference delegates about lessons learnt from covid - looking forward to continuing it tomorrow with a particular focus on CS1 students! (w/ Angela Siegel and Teri Balser)

Final #SIGCSE2021 BoF today - rebranding "failure" in CS1. How does "iterative failing" make students feel? How can we improve upon it? 90 minutes later, we're no closer to the answer - but we had a lot of fun figuring it out, and are inspired with ideas! (w/ Angela Siegel)

I'm very excited that next June, Halifax will be hosting the first Sail Grand Prix event ever to take place in Canada! This is a huge win for our province. I'm looking forward to welcoming the SailGP teams of sailors from around the world to Nova Scotia.
