Adam Schwaninger's journey proves you don't need a traditional tech background to teach computer science—you need creativity, problem-solving skills, and a commitment to access.
His take? The best CS teachers often come from unexpected places. Art, design thinking, and interdisciplinary approaches can actually be advantages in the classroom.
Big thanks to CS4NE and UNL's programs for supporting educators making these pivots and expanding CS education across Nebraska.
Considering a move into CS education? Adam's story shows it's possible—and transformative.

🚀 Transforming Education with AI Tutors
Ever wondered how to create your own AI teaching assistant? Our latest "AI in the Classroom" podcast episode shows you exactly how!
Watch Guy and Williams from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln create a custom fractions tutor using ChatGPT. They demonstrate the entire process - from initial setup to testing and refinement.
What makes this episode special? They don't just show the successes - they reveal the challenges too, including when the AI was overly supportive of incorrect answers!
This honest approach highlights why educator oversight remains crucial in AI implementation. The future of education isn't about replacing teachers - it's about empowering them with better tools.

🧠 Fascinating discussion on our latest "AI in the Classroom" podcast!
Remember when we worried that AI would strain our planet's energy resources? The conversation has shifted. Williams and Professor Guy Trainin from UNL break down how AI costs have dropped dramatically—from $50 per million tokens to just fractions of a dollar.
What does this mean? AI is becoming accessible to everyone, everywhere—from students in Nebraska to learners across the globe. While we should remain mindful of energy consumption, the environmental concerns that once limited AI adoption are rapidly diminishing.
This isn't just about technology getting cheaper—it's about educational opportunity becoming more equitable. When cost barriers disappear, learning opportunities expand exponentially.
