The first day of CoderSpace Summer 2018 was awesome! I sipped coffee and observed while the alumni instructional team ran the show. The students who started today will one day be leading the program and teaching future cohorts... x.com/coderspace/sta…

It was such a thrill to tell stories of young people learning and leading at CoderSpace! #AspenIdeas x.com/maktweeter/sta…

Congratulations to our Co-founder and Director of Education and Technology Arelia Jones, one of Chicago Inno's 2018 50 on Fire! 🔥 americaninno.com/chicago/50-on-…

“I do these programs because I want to make sure other women and people of color see tech as something they might want to consider, and that they know how to find a path into a tech career.” —Arelia Jones americaninno.com/chicago/50-on-…

If one billionaire - a descendent of enslaved Africans - can eliminate the student debt of the graduating class of Morehouse College, surely the world’s richest country - whose economy was built on slave labor - can eliminate the idea of student debt altogether. #GreenNewDeal

.Demond Drummer was right: "The socialism question is really just a strategy to make the Green New Deal sound unamerican, but I can't think of any proposal more inherently American than the Green New Deal."

I know we're all contemplating the pandemic, but check this out. Air quality in SoCal right now isn't good. It's incredible. Like numbers from another era. It's not just the rain. Having less traffic is making our city more livable. Think about it.

You want to thank Black women? Cancel student debt -- all of it. Black women carry more student debt than any other group in America. Save your words of appreciation. Policy is our love language.

Success! We learned so much during our weekend microcontroller sprint. Today we assemble and program sensors for the AdlerPlanet #farhorizons payload. #SpringBreak2018

We had an amazing day at AdlerPlanet #FarHorizons lab! #physics #circuits #computerscience #SpringBreak2018

Integration and testing complete! Our sensors are ready for the AdlerPlanet #FarHorizons payload! #Springbreak2018

“This is dope!” Today we did some data analysis with #Python libraries on Colaboratory. Weather conditions pushed our #FarHorizons launch back to mid-April, so we analyzed sensor data from previous missions. ...then we went to the movies. #SpringBreak2018

Launch day! Wrapping up an early morning at the AdlerPlanet #FarHorizons Lab for final payload testing and integration.

Internal temperature, humidity and UV sensors powered up!

LIFT OFF!!!

Payload recovery at 4:59pm ET. Experiments are intact. #FarHorizons flight #117 complete!

It was a pleasure flying with fellow students teams from ITW David Speer Academy, A Noble School and Wilbur Wright College. Thank you to the AdlerPlanet #FarHorizons team for working with us. We can’t wait to analyze the data we collected!
