In an age of #AI where #LLMs generate code, do students still need to learn to code? How much coding do they need to learn? As we grapple w these Qs, one thing is clear: #ComputationalThinking has survived a trial-by-fire & is more relevant than ever. My @CACMmag blog post.

"Computational Thinking: The Idea That Lived," by @shuchig, says the idea of computational thinking, resisted by some in its application to #K12, has not only survived, but is more important than ever in an age of AI. bit.ly/3C5V4Fs

I had a great chat with @ExchangesIAS last week about publishing #outreach and #publicengagement projects. I think there is a lot that academics can get out of doing outreach - and it can be a lot of fun. @wmgwarwick @warwickengages #WMGoutreach #WarwickSTEM

NEW EPISODE: Outreach, Reaching Across the Divide & Engaging the Public. I talk with WMG’s Phil Jemmett (@Philjemmett, Warwick) about his work & his article Engaging Academics with Outreach Listen here: spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/BDEDZbjNcNb #podcast #academicpublishing #publicoutreach
