Hi, Black People? *taps mic* Y'all smoking up in here?
Anywho...enroll Black children in some type of computer science/tech...even if it aint with us (although we are the best.. 💁🏽♂️..) the importance of the exposure is bigger than us.
But for real.

I use the same ones. They apply.
I think these work fairly well for computer science.
Hey #teamCompSci #CSTA #CSed, do we have an equivalent of these 8 Mathematical Practices? A nice, tidy set of habits and approaches we take in programming?
Concept lists aren’t enough. We need these too.

The ASU+GSV Conference was definitely one for the record books! My 5 biggest takeaways?
• Network = strategy, not just support
• HBCU faculty must be at every table
• Culture is pedagogy, not decoration
• Black founders are building legacy, not hype
• Joy + justice = the future of education
• Network = strategy, not just support
• HBCU faculty must be at every table
• Culture is pedagogy, not decoration

I don’t understand why Black athletes don’t give their talent to Black colleges for this reason alone. Breaking your back for a college that had to be FORCED to admit Black ppl is crazy work.
In a few hours Auburn, the #1 Men’s BB team in the country will play its bitter rival AL for the second time looking for a sweep. It should be noted that its starters and playing bench are all non white. They only love us when we play sports as the school is only abt 5% Black although 1/

Black people did their part. It is not our responsibility to keep cleaning up white people's racially charged messes. They knew EXACTLY who and what they voted for! Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Sermon.
Looking at all the posts wondering where POTUS Barack Obama is, and MVP Harris. Wypipo made it clear who they wanted to elect this time around - and did. Hollering for help from Black folks ain't gonna work. Go out and get your skinfolks to reject and undo what they have wrought
