Our #FOSDEM2024 talk from the Educational Programming Languages Dev Room about Snap! Cloud is now online, featuring our vision for "Blocks all the Way" and our pedagogy for #GenAI: video.fosdem.org/2024/h1301/fos…

Includes the paper by Gus Evrard and me on the process of our U-M College of LSA Computing Education Task Force (which led to creating PCAS Program for Computing in the Arts and Science). The paper won a "Best Discussion Paper Award." dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

University of Washington launches a new computing education center. "They might 'want to be better biologists or better artists and see computational methods as instrumental to how they can do that.'" geekwire.com/2024/univ-of-w…

Preparing for my SIGCSE 2024 workshop: "Creating an on-ramp to programming for arts and humanities students with teaspoon languages and custom block languages" Participants will play with teaspoon and Snap!

It's #GivingBlueDay. Consider support the LSA Program in Computing for the Arts and Sciences (PCAS) at lsa.umich.edu/computingfor/s…. Thank you!

What's new with Program for Computing in the Arts and Science and where you can hear about PCAS at ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium 2024 in Portland this week #SIGCSE2024 SIGCSE Technical Symposium

hey, snap!ers 🧑‍💻👨‍💻👩‍💻 We've been busy the past week. The whole Snap! team from SAP and UC Berkeley participated in the 2024 faberllull robotics residency. Thanks everyone for the experience and exchange 🤖🫶🥳🎉 Check out what we've been working on: youtube.com/live/0ft0J3rh3…

I'm at CHI, but as Barbara Ericson's +1. So I spent my time getting jes4py to work in Google Colab - #mediaComp in a notebook for Program for Computing in the Arts and Science "Digital Media with Python" course.

Research from our Program for Computing in the Arts and Science classes on how we support transfer to new programming contexts.

Learning to Program Matters for Liberal Arts and Sciences Students in the Age of AI link.medium.com/U5nwZTCAGLb

The impact of AI on computing education in liberal arts and sciences is likely different. It's less about programming to produce applications, and more about the power of programming as a tool for thinking and learning. medium.com/@markguzdial/l…

For the reasons liberal arts and sciences majors should learn to program, AI’s not really that big a deal computinged.wordpress.com/2024/08/05/all…

The Program for Computing in the Arts and Science course "Computing's Impact on Justice: From Text to the Web" has just been approved to count towards the U-M College of LSA "Race and Ethnicity" requirement. It's the first programming course and only the second course in the natural sciences to receive that approval
