SIGCSE Grant Award

Excited to share some wonderful news!
My proposal, "Designing for Authentic Assessment: A Community Toolkit for Generative AI Integration in Computing Education," has been selected to receive a SIGCSE Special Projects grant through @ACM SIGCSE!
I designed this project because I believe we need better frameworks for how we assess student learning in the age of generative AI, not just how we use it. The real challenge in computing education right now isn't adopting AI tools. It's ensuring that students are still developing authentic understanding and critical thinking skills alongside them. This toolkit is my attempt to give educators practical, community-driven resources to do exactly that.
The funding is being allocated through the Consortium for Generative AI in CS Education, a community that is giving this conversation the momentum it deserves.
Proud to be doing this work, and looking forward to seeing what this toolkit becomes.
RECRUITMENT WILL START SOON
If you're working on similar challenges in computing education, I'd love to connect!Learn more about the Consortium for Generative AI in CS Education here: https://teachcswithai.org
