Education is the civil rights issue of the times.
We cannot talk about education without speaking about civil rights
When a student is brilliant on the street corner
but falling asleep in class, something is wrong with the schooling system.
Equitable resources is not equity What is the pedagogy needed
for equity ?

There is a new economics of college in America
The federal Pell Grant is supposed to make college affordable
But it doesn’t
Financial aid misunderstands today’s families. Many can’t pay what is “expected”
And many students support their families while in college.
24% of students were food-insecure 16% had trouble paying rent on time
An estimated 13% of community college students are homeless
The
three
big
ideas

Coding for What?
#3
Remove obstacles and cultural biases that devalue and limit opportunities
for girls and women
Earning power of those having these skills
We need to see coding as a place to begin, not an end in itself
We want students to be critically aware consumers and producers of media.

What is the purpose of art in a contested democracy?
Explore how Virtual Reality can be meaningfully integrated into the curriculum.
