Engaging an outside expert

On Thursday, February 13, our students and I had the honor of inviting Leonard Speiser. Our students had an opportunity to "pitch" their ideas and receive guidance. 

As a result of this meeting, we have chosen to focus on five major concepts related to ethical use of AI based on the Framework that Sofia De Jésus and I have worked on as part of the CSTA Equity Fellowship. 

Sometimes I have to pinch myself on how lucky I feel to work in this incredible community where I can actually have our students interact with someone like Leonard who "has founded six technology companies including Bix, which sold to Yahoo! in 2006, and Clover, a payment company that currently processes over $100 billion a year for small businesses that sold to First Data/Fiserv. [He] led product teams at eBay in 2000 and Intuit in 1998" (https://www.aspentechpolicyhub.org/team/leonard-speiser/). He was gracious enough not only to spend time with our students but also offered to come back and provide additional feedback on our project.
