Summary:

///Tweet of the week?

 

I am so excited and proud of this work! I am currently also a Fellow at Mozilla, working closely with Omidyar Network on the Responsible Computer Science Challenge. The link above links to a Mozilla tweet that links to the Mozilla press announcement. There are a few other press coverage in Quarts, Axios, FastCompany, etc, if you want that. A quote from me in the Mozilla release: “In a world where software is entwined with much of our lives, it is not enough to simply know what software can do. We must also know what software should and shouldn’t do, and train ourselves to think critically about how our code can be used. Students of computer science go on to be the next leaders and creators in the world, and must understand how code intersects with human behavior, privacy, safety, vulnerability, equality, and many other factors.” Pham adds: “Just like how algorithms, data structures, and networking are core computer science classes, we are excited to help empower faculty to also teach ethics and responsibility as an integrated core tenet of the curriculum.” I also sent a note to Berkman Friends about this recently. Thanks Dan!
