It was so great to chat with @kellyann.bsky.social about @githubeducation.bsky.social and how we support the AMAZING next generation of developers. I feel so lucky to do what I do! As a bonus, I got to share how I used @github.com Spark to prototype Upload2USB for @internet-in-a-box.bsky.social. ❤️

Students can hand in homework easily and teachers can block students from cheating with @internet-in-a-box.bsky.social's NEW Upload2USB!

Oaxacoders brought Ruben Rodriguez Perez to speak about free software, digital sovereignty, and his journey from fsf.org, to building Trisquel, to @archive.org. It was inspiring to be in a room with passionate coders and community organizers chatting about tech, information sharing, and privacy.

As part of @internet-in-a-box.bsky.social, we recently developed Upload2USB to bring about meaningful community exchange enabling students to share files and photos offline with teachers and each other! One line install of IIAB to get your own instance going: iiab.io
