The truth is out West! We’re hopping on the ET Highway and venturing to the most notorious alien hot spots, including Roswell’s infamous crash site, Area 51’s eerie perimeter, and a mysterious desert watchtower. Join us as journalist Laura Krantz, host of the podcast Wild Thing , beams up to share stories from the front lines of UFO reporting—from strange sightings and quirky festivals to a mailbox where people leave letters to extraterrestrials. Maybe you’ll even decide for yourself: Is Earth a tourist stop for spaceships? UFO hot spots you’ll encounter in this episode: - UFO Watchtower (near Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado) - Roswell, New Mexico - Area 51, Nevada - Extraterrestrial Highway (aka State Route 375), Nevada - Little A’Le’Inn, ET Highway, Nevada - E.T. Fresh Jerky, ET Highway, Nevada - Alien Research Center, ET Highway, Nevada - The Black Mailbox, ET Highway, Nevada Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group .…

How to Get Started with Computer Science Education

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

00:00 Intro

00:24 Preface

01:41 My single sentence summary

02:15 Outline of the report and introduction

09:15 Section I: M.O.S.T. Important Recommendations

10:33 Systems thinking

10:56 Section II: A detailed summary of recommendations

11:14 Model an incentivize inclusive leadership

17:20 Operationalize DEI throughout the business

34:59 Share DEI data, metrics, and goals

42:14 Transform pathways into tech for underrepresented talent

53:40 Lingering questions and thoughts

53:46 I’m skeptical when I see reports use phrases like “school-to-tech pathway” by ensuring “that every student has the fundamental math and science background to study CS.” (p. 16)

55:03 When we say a diverse workforce, what does that mean to you?

56:11 There is a tendency when some people advocate for diversity to be vague in what’s being asked for, so how can we as individuals or as a field clarify goals to strive toward?

58:01 When is the purpose of education for getting a job and when is it not?

58:27 Outro
