How to Inspire K-12 Students to Study in Computing Disciplines in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Byte-A-Dynamo Workshops

computer.org Vanessa Castro 2025-10-04 17:15:55

Software engineering shouldn’t be gatekept to people who can afford an expensive degree. Recently, one group has been working hard to expand artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science teaching to students (ages 10-16) from low-income families in Maryland who have no or minimal computing backgrounds. Computing isn’t just for the elite; it’s for anyone with curiosity and creativity. But resources and training aren’t always widely accessible. That’s why a series of free workshops was introd

A trove of internal documents leaked from a little-known Chinese company has pulled back the curtain on how digital censorship tools are being marketed and exported globally. Geedge Networks sells what amounts to a commercialized “Great Firewall” to at least four countries, including Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and Myanmar.

A Terrace, B.C., beekeeper found herself in a nightmare situation late last month when "thousands and thousands of bees" filled her shop. Call it an attempted robbery — the bees were trying to steal sweet, sweet honey. Christine McDonald, owner of Rushing River Apiaries, said it's the first time desperate "robber bees" — bees that try to take honey from another colony's hive — have descended upon her indoor shop to hunt for food as resources get scarce in the late summer.

Two ways Apple is (wisely) being inclusive about its latest health features

Apple is sometimes accused of deliberately withholding new features from older devices for no good reason. For example, eyebrows were raised when dual capture video recording was restricted to the iPhone 17 when the same feature has been supported by third-party apps all the way back to the iPhone 11, so is clearly nothing to do with hardware capabilities. When it comes to the latest health features, however, the company is wisely taking a far more inclusive approach … Hypertension alerts The

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority AT&T takes a different approach than Verizon and T-Mobile when it comes to promotions, upgrades, and special deals. While its rivals often advertise free phones with no trade-in required, AT&T rarely offers devices entirely free up front. That can make it less appealing to switchers, but the trade-off is that existing customers typically get the same deals as new ones.
