Tech Skills Needed for Successful Online Testing. With state testing going online, many teachers worry that their students will not do well due to a lack of tech skills rather than content knowledge.

HOUR OF CODE. This Is What the Next Generation of Engineers Looks Like. In college and during her career, Kimberly Bryant often found herself the only black female scientist in the room.
The biotech engineer founded the Bay Area non-profit Black Girls CODE in 2011 so that today's young girls will never find themselves in that position. Bryant realized that it wasn't a lack of interest in science that led to a dearth of diversity in her field; it was a lack of access.

The non-profit is a global organization, with chapters in Oakland, Calif., Atlanta, New York and even South Africa, with expansion to eight more cities planned for next year. But the reach of Black Girls CODE has grown exponentially in two years; the roster now exceeds 2,000 girls.
