hey kids, read this code of ethics, it contains all the rules that you must follow but governments and large corporations can ignore. now sit back quietly and enjoy a nice school-provided, sugar-filled snack and some pills while we work on replacing you with ai
An hour of anything isn't going to teach students anything. Worse yet, it seems to be a wide array of various topics covered in a few minutes, which means most kids won't retain half of it even if they're paying attention.
They're stuff is mostly drag and drop (think Scratch) kind of fluff, the reason they have and 'hour of code' is because what they offer is so shallow. It's all hype and no substance, I know, I was forced to participate in it at my school because no-nothing team 'leaders' and admins thought "Oooh shiney!" and also "marketing photo op!" -- I wouldn't see marketing all year in my CS/Robotics classes, but come 'hour of code' suddenly they show up -- wtf.
The sooner code.org goes away, the better -- they're a bun
Really? They're using someone from Tesla to talk/teach about AI? The company whose cars keep slamming into emergency vehicles with lights on [cbsnews.com] when autopilot is engaged? The company whose cars are phantom braking [makeuseof.com] and people who paid thousands of dollars for the software are suing? The company whose cars randomly accelerate [zdnet.com]?
This is the company you want to bring in? For as much as it pains me, Microsoft would be a better choice.

Otherwise I agree.
