https://t.co/vswu2JsOgC Great project expanding opportunities for people to experience eclipses.

Honored to have worked with @MckennaJ72 and his team. My work and comments on a #SIGCSE24 panel are included in his wrap-up.
I've read #SIGCSE wrap ups for years. Excited to finally be able to write my own. Read on to discover how abstract art, accessibility in coding, and the beauty of diversity can transform our approach to education. #EdTech #Accessibility

Excited to have received two SIGCSE poster acceptances, one as lead author. For the lead author one, reviewers were excited about the "clear and concise" innovative framework. Grateful for good mentorship and our amazing research/practice partners.
