Resource Name Link Abstract
Virtually HumanThe LawrenceFace to Face With AI - Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere: in our homes, phones, and cars. How can these AIs act like humans, and how are they different? Engage in an interactive artificial intelligence experience to explore how computers can interpret facial expressions just like humans do. Experiment with the AI to see how it is—and isn’t!—smart.
Good Fire: Tending Native LandsOakland Museum of California(November 7, 2025—May 31, 2026) Good Fire: Tending Native Lands explores how Native communities in Northern California have used controlled fire—also called “good fire” or “cultural burning”—to care for the land and sustain traditions for millennia. Organized in collaboration with Native Northern California fire practitioners, artists, ecologists, and cultural leaders, the exhibition reframes fire as not solely a destructive force, but as an essential tool for supporting healthy ecosystems and vibrant communities. In this immersive exhibition, explore fire-dependent plants, regalia, basketry, videos of cultural burns, and artworks that help us understand how “good fire” benefits all life—humans, animals, and plants alike. Historical photographs, fire-scarred tree samples, and works by artists like Saif Azzuz (Yurok/Libyan), Renée Leann Castro-Ring (Lisjan Ohlone), and Brian D. Tripp (Karuk) highlight connections between the exclusion of Native peoples from their homelands and environmental decline. These elements illuminate ongoing efforts such as prairie restoration, Land Back campaigns, and the work of Native groups like the Cultural Fire Management Council.

The mission of CRS is to empower teachers and STEM professionals serving schools in historically marginalized communities to activate TK-8 students’ curiosity about the world, foster critical thinking, and inspire children to imagine future career pathways. We envision a community of educators, scientists, families and partners working together to build school cultures that equip all children to explore the world around them and build the skills needed to become innovators, problem solvers, environmental stewards, life-long learners and leaders. CRS leads a dynamic network, fostering relationships and collaborations that leverage expertise and resources to transform science teaching and learning toward greater equity, opportunity, and success for all students.

 

Our goal is simple: help teachers give students more opportunities to “do science” – to ask questions, test ideas, get their hands on real science activities. We need to inspire the next generation of thinkers, makers, problem solvers, and leaders!
