Join SMASH as we host another AI Innovation Challenge this Saturday! This time we are in The Town--Oakland! Supporting our youth alongside local community partners, youth participants will go on a learning and design journey using AI tools in innovative ways. Of course, the food and prize game will be on point, as usual. ?? I am SUPER proud of my team for continuing to bring these experiences to fruition. If you're in Oakland, this Saturday, then come through--and if you're still debating whether or not you should come out, then check out our recap from similar events in Atlanta and Detroit. See you there! Atlanta Innovation Challenge Recap: https://lnkd.in/ef5EaS7P Detroit Innovation Challenge Recap https://lnkd.in/e9MGQg_8

At the start of February, we launched the "Heart Work" campaign — a tribute to the unwavering passion, dedication, and commitment of our incredible educators and staff. This campaign highlights how public schools are more than places of learning — they are centers of opportunity, inclusion, and support for students, families, and the entire community. In this inspiring video, Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) Superintendent Dr. Melanie Kay-Wyatt shares what Heart Work means at ACPS. It’s the collective care and purpose-driven efforts that create welcoming schools where all students thrive and succeed. The Heart Work campaign is also a call to action. ACPS is committed to celebrating, retaining, and attracting top talent by fostering a culture where every staff member feels valued, supported, and empowered. At the same time, we want to remind families that ACPS offers a high-quality education in an inclusive, nurturing environment where every student matters. ?? Watch Dr. Kay-Wyatt’s message and join us in celebrating the incredible Heart Work happening across ACPS. ?? Help us shine a spotlight on public education by sharing your own Heart Work stories! Post photos, videos, or messages using #ACPSHeartWork — and don’t forget to tag us to be featured!
