SUMMARY:Knowledge Brokering through Curriculum Co-Design: Lessons from Justice-Centered Computing Education
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this engaging knowledge cafe with F. Megumi Kivuva to explore practical co-design and knowledge brokering routines\, examined through their work with curriculum co-design for justice-centered computing education (JCCE). Guided by bell hooks’ notion of praxis\, this knowledge cafe focuses on how Megumi teaches and shares research with practitioners to support their teaching through curriculum co-design for justice-centered computing education (JCCE). By examining the collaborative processes used to design and adapt curricula that foreground computing’s social-political implications within the constraints of informal learning environments\, Megumi will highlight the relationship work behind the design\, including issues of trust\, role navigation\, and the creation of boundary objects. Key challenges encountered in the process will be discussed along with the design choices used to navigate these challenges.  \nRegister Today! \nAbout Megumi: I am a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow at the University of Washington\, Seattle\, advised by Prof. Amy Ko. My PhD research aims to co-design computing education pathways for refugee youth\, their families\, and the community organizations that support them. Through community-participatory methodologies\, I work closely with refugee support organizations to develop computing education programs for refugee youth. My previous work includes CS integration in language learning\, co-construction in CS classes\, computational embroidery and e-textiles\, and teaching computing in various after-school settings. I hold a BA in Computer Science and Spanish Studies from Bard College.

SUMMARY:EKBN Journal Club
DESCRIPTION:New Event! The EKBN Journal Club will gather to discuss Morgan Meyer’s article\, The Rise of the Knowledge Broker. Meyer’s commentary raises important questions for knowledge brokers\, and introduces the concept of brokered knowledge. This short and accessible work is a great introduction for those wanting to delve more deeply into the practice and theory of knowledge brokering. We’ll discuss the benefits and drawbacks of our “double peripherality” and how we can make our often-invisible work more visible. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, April 21st\, 12:00 –1:00 PM ET.  \nRegister to receive the reading link and Zoom invite. \nRegister Now!

SUMMARY:Democratizing Education Statistics Through an AI Agent
DESCRIPTION:Information about education provides a critical foundation for understanding the status of education and is used to help identify areas for improvement\, track progress\, and make informed decisions about policies and resource allocation. Yet access to and effective use of federal education data has become increasingly difficult as technical barriers and support structures have eroded.The American Institutes for Research (AIR) is addressing this challenge through the development of a conversational Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agent designed to democratize access to federal education data. By allowing users to ask questions in plain language and receive tailored\, data-driven responses\, the AI Agent lowers barriers related to software\, technical expertise\, and data literacy. This session introduces AIR’s AI Analysis Agent and demonstrates how it can transform the way researchers\, policymakers\, educators\, parents\, and community-based organizations explore and use education data\, shifting complex analyses from time‑consuming technical tasks to intuitive\, on‑demand inquiry. \nRegister Today

SUMMARY:From the Streets to the Seats: Partnership for Knowledge Exchange
DESCRIPTION:In this casual ‘fireside chat\,’ EKBN Director Katie Philp sits down with longtime collaborator\, Ruben Saldana\, to explore the development of partnerships that elevate the role of lived experience in evidence production and use. They’ll discuss the importance of trust between grassroots and grasstops organizations\, how practice and research can co-evolve through partnership\, and the impacts of these collaborations in youth development contexts.  \nRuben Saldaña is the founder of Credible Messengers of Florida and founder and head coach of RuCamp\, a mixed-martial arts program for youth. As a formerly incarcerated gang leader\, Ruben has dedicated himself to youth mentorship and youth violence prevention efforts. Credible Messenger Mentors have lived experiences similar to the youth they mentor\, such as former justice system involvement or gang participation. Ruben is a recognized leader in youth gang deterrence and violence prevention\, serving as an expert consultant for local governments working to address youth crime.  \nRegistration coming soon.
