Engaging in humanizing and collaborative research approaches about the experiences of undocu communities can lead to transformative and liberatory practices within and outside higher education settings. Faculty featured in this program will share how they have partnered with undocu communities in their research to center their needs and experiences and resist systemic injustices. Faculty will also discuss the key implications of their research\, particularly as it relates to the 2025 sociopolitical climate. The program features Dr. Kevin Escudero ‘09 from Brown University and Dr. Cinthya Salazar from UCLA. \n\n\n\nThis event can be attended in person at the James West Alumni Center or online via Zoom.

This resource aims to support families in understanding what CS is and how AI is a part of it\, why it matters for all young peoples’ futures\, and how to take action to ensure all students have access to – and enroll in –  high-quality CS education. The guide answers questions parents often ask about CS and AI such as: \n\n\n\n\nWhat is Computer Science (CS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) anyway?\n\n\n\nWhy is it important for ALL students to learn about CS and AI?\n\n\n\nWhy do some schools offer CS while others don’t?\n\n\n\nWhat should kids know about the good and bad of tech?\n\n\n\nWhat does ethics have to do with CS and AI?\n\n\n\nHow does CS and AI education prepare for college\, careers\, and beyond?\n\n\n\nHow can parents support CS learning in their home\, school\, and community?\n\n\n\n\nAt the webinar\, we will share a new Request for Applications (RFA) for parent organizations and LEAs interested in partnering with us on furthering this initiative through a research-practice partnership. \n\n\n\nSee you 12/12 @12! \n\n\n\nQuestions?
