While more schools are making computer science mandatory and creating more opportunities for students to learn to code, those who are blind or have low vision are often left out of this largely visual experience. Lacking this 21st-century skill could be an obstacle for those students when entering the workforce, an already difficult endeavor: According to Cornell University, nearly half of working-age adults with visual disabilit

Robotics: It’s one of the many technologies that come to mind when people talk about science, technology, engineering and math projects. Yet while robots are the fun, shiny face of these STEM lessons, the real learning comes in the form of the technology that enables the robots to function. One piece of this puzzle is coding. Students who are learning robotics are learning how to code so they can program the robots to complete tasks or otherwise operate as they envision.

Sustainably cooling a K–12 data center is fraught with challenges.
