Why This College Student Created a Coloring Book to Celebrate Black Women in STEM

ED Surge

In the book, obviously there's images of girls coding together, building robots together, just showing what they can do, but then there’s the teaching side of it. My mom encouraged me to join the robotics team, and there was a lot of pushback from me because I was like, “Why would I do that? Robotics is not in the picture.

Can ‘Linguistic Fingerprinting’ Guard Against AI Cheating?

ED Surge

The idea is that the detectors will catch if a student has had a robot do their work for them. The biology teacher went to the mother — and she didn’t even have to use the report — and said that it doesn’t seem like the student wrote it. And we ran it through a [linguistic fingerprint tool] and it produced a report.
