Mexico City, NYC, & Balitmore
The lazy answer for the future of education is, "Teach every kid to ‘AI skills’." What does that even mean?
Oct 28th, I'm thrilled to be giving a free keynote for the Maryland State Library Resource Center in Baltimore: "How to Robot-Proof Your Kids".
The real goal isn't to be a better calculator or prompt crafter; it's to be the person who knows what questions are worth asking.
As part of the conference's theme, "Convergence: Technology, Equity, and the Future," I'll be diving into the science of how we cultivate foundational skills, the human qualities that complement AI and predict positive life outcomes.
Libraries and schools are the natural home for this work. I'm honored to be part of the conversation and would love for you to join us.

SciFi, Fantasy, & Me
I’ve come to enjoy the mashup of sci-fi and murder mystery, and Muir Lafferty’s Six Wakes (everyone was murdered, everyone’s a sleuth, everyone’s a suspect) and Station Eternity (a sentient space station is the main suspect) are happy recommendations from me. Her most recent, Chaos Terminal, is another fine entry in the genre, though it feels a bit overstuffed compared to the predecessors. A fun ride, but start with the other two.
