Speaking at the American Enterprise Institute recently, former Governor Asa Hutchinson shared his experience in bringing coding skills to students throughout the state of Arkansas. Declaring “coding is basic,” Gov. Hutchinson led the charge to engage teachers throughout the state. Through those teachers, opportunities to learn coding became available to students statewide. In Gov.

We use technology to make and fix things, but what if it can help us be curious and possibly understand and accept people with different points of view? The AI overview we got when asking Google, “What is an icebreaker activity?” is: “a game, event, or activity that helps people get to know each other and build rapport. Icebreakers can be used in meetings, social gatherings, or to help people form a team.

Mathematicians recently gathered for a workshop in Canadaa to thrash out ideas inspired by a breakthrough a pair of researchers made in 2023 on a conjecture by Paul Erdős. The pair’s success at applying a novel combination of approaches to a problem that saw little progress in four decades looks to have larger implications in an area of mathematics that looks at how order forms out of random systems, and which also has proven influential for both practical and theoretical computer science.

In October 2023, a year ago, a new presidential executive order (EO) called for safe, secure, and trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI). This order marks a milestone for education, because for the first time, it called upon the U.S. Department of Education to develop policy around AI for the education system. It’s unusual for the U.S. Government to call for policy about technology specifically in education.

Humble rust may provide the key to a new generation of low-power computing devices and memories. Its properties could overcome some of the problems of today’s attempts to harness magnetic fields for spintronic systems. Electron spin, the source of magnetic fields, could prove a far more energy-efficient way to process data than today’s charge-based circuits currently dominated by silicon technology. Aside from the read-write heads in disk drives, however, progress in spintronics has been slow.
