AVCWhat Will Happen In 2025
I've done a lot of these January 1st look forward posts in the 20+ years I've been blogging. I've used many different approaches. I sometimes talk big themes, like I did last year. I sometimes focus on just one thing. And sometimes I just make a bunch of predictions. I am going to do the latter approach today because I feel like it and it's so much fun. 1/ Apple and Google will leverage their existing market power to surpass OpenAI/ChatGPT in consumer AI prompts by the end of 2025. 2/ Waymo w...

AVCA Great Employee Engagement Opportunity For Your NYC Team
One of my favorite days of the year is the NYC Computer Science Opportunity Fair. The idea behind the CS Fair is pretty simple: Put students together with companies, universities, and organizations that care about technology and opportunity and let the conversations happen. The energy in the room is always incredible. The CS Fair has been going on for thirteen years now, and as a result, over 25,000 NYC public school students have been exposed to the opportunities that a career in tech in NYC offers.
Here is the 60 second video from last year so you can see what I mean.
This year's Fair will take place at the 168th Street Armory in Washington Heights on April 21st. We are expecting 2,400 high school students who will walk the track meeting engineers, founders, college representatives, and nonprofit leaders and learn about career paths and continued learning opportunities. More importantly, they will see how the coding and AI skills they are learning in their classrooms today can turn into real opportunities tomorrow.
That kind of exposure matters a lot. When students can see themselves in the field, it changes what they believe is possible.
New York City has made a big commitment to computer science and AI education in public schools over the past decade. The CS Fair is one of the places where you can really see the results of that effort.
If you are part of the NYC tech community, you should get involved. Become a sponsor. Host a booth. Send engineers. You can sign up on this form, or contact Jennifer,

HI Casters. I wrote about a great Employee Engagement Opportunity For Your NYC Team today. Check it out.
My older child is a freshman in high school and he’s in the computer science program. This looks like a wonderful opportunity for all kids on that track.
