  • Just over 10 days ago we announced Micro-grants to help inform the public about #COVID19. We received over 325 applications of such variety, it was hard to select our winners. In the end, we chose five, each to receive $5000. Read about them at https://t.co/PJkOxGh4hE, Mar 24
  • We are still deliberating. All of the entries show real care and inventiveness. We will have our winners later this evening. https://t.co/i2fksWJKaU, Mar 24
  • Among the MagicGrants from 2019-20 is a new way of teaching "computational thinking." Griffin Dietz &Elizabeth Murnane, Stanford computer scientists, made a voice assistant app that teaches elementary school students computation basics,simply by teaching them how to tell stories. https://t.co/OGCQXZ3oMt, Mar 23
