February 24, 2020

Grey is a hydrologist who uses machine learning (advanced artificial intelligence) to get a better sense of where water is currently located on the Earth’s surface, and where it will be located in the future. Grey recommends high school students learn how to write computer code and manage a GitHub repository (social media for computer programmers). A great beginning computer code for students to try is Python, and there are several online courses to help students get started.
