Free Registration

Join Crimson Rise Senior Director Cassidy Goldblatt in conversation with Capstone Mentor Carlos R. on what prepares G5–G8 students for CS in the age of AI.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • Whether computer science is still worth pursuing when AI can write code — and the three foundations (math, engineering, physics) that make the field durable
  • The skills that matter more than any programming language — logical thinking, systems thinking, and problem-solving — and how to build them starting in G5
  • A real student capstone project, from first idea to finished output — what “AI + coding” looks like in practice, not in theory
  • A live Q&A with Cassidy Goldblatt (Senior Director, Crimson Rise) and Carlos R., a software engineer with decades of experience in the field
