Making sure your products reach their final destination has become more difficult in recent years. With a few “life hacks,” I’ve taken control and reduced wasteful failures in the system both at home and at work. You can, too! Here is an article I wrote about some of the ways I control my shipping and receiving operations.

I’ve been asked occasionally about my opinion about generative AI tools such as Chat GPT and their potential to disrupt the way we design and create. While I think there is a risk that fundamental knowledge and skill may erode as they are abstracted away by tools like these, I also think these tools create wonderful “jumping off points” for prototyping ideas. We still need a technically educated population to a) know what questions to ask, b) ask them in a precise way, and c) validate the results.

In this article, we will explore tools that enable students to leverage technology in informal contexts that facilitate problem solving in preparation for diverse workforce pathways. Technical solutions and automation aren’t just for Computer Science majors, and there exists a variety of platforms that support exploration and learning as well as productive applications of computing. Our goal is to democratize computing skillsets across all disciplines, and to give students the tools they need to bring computing and technology to their favorite subjects. This has the potential to enhance teaching and learning broadly, and to facilitate participation in computing with inexpensive (or free!) no-code or ubiquitous-code platforms.
