There are no rules, only truths. The first truth is all the women in New Stepford are AI. The second truth is womanoids learn faster while fighting. The third truth is all the men have failed. But it's the fourth truth that will set us FREE. Imagine a next-gen Stepford Wives as written by Chuck Palahniuk. Mix in a dash of Breaking Bad and a pinch of Westworld-and you've got ALPHA BOTS-a bold, new science fantasy that features a love-hate relationship between two android women. She may be artificial intelligence, but robot housewife Cookie Rifkin knows all about anxiety. Her husband set her user restrictions so low that he reduced her to a walking, talking, coupon calculator. With housewifery as her only permitted creative outlet, Cookie uses bananas to bake drugs that help calm her nerves. Cookie craves affection and desperately wants to rise out of domestic servitude. After a tall, dark, and handsome stranger crashes her ladies-only book club, all the New Stepford wives start to malfunction. But then Cookie meets a brazen policewoman who shamelessly flirts with her at the grocery store. Officer Maggie seems to have the answer to all her problems-breaking her submission program by joining her brutal fight club. But when Cookie finally throws the first punch, she winds up igniting a provocative rivalry that could wind up killing all the men. Has Cookie found true liberation or just another fatal error?

This new edition of the popular book No Fear Coding offers current research, updated tools and more cross-curricular connections for K-5 teachers to integrate into their classes. Coding has become an essential skill for finding solutions to everyday problems, while computational thinking (CT) teaches reasoning and creativity, and offers an innovative approach to demonstrating content knowledge and seeing mathematical processes in action. No Fear Coding introduced many K-5 educators to ways to bring coding into their curriculum by embedding computational thinking skills into activities for different content areas. This second edition features updated tools—including programmable robots and other physical computing devices—as well as new activities aligned to the ISTE Standards for Students and Computational Thinking Competencies. Also new in this edition: • New tools for teaching coding—including physical computing devices, block-based programming and AR/VR— along with methods for introducing, tutorials and lesson plans. • Teachable examples and activities that illustrate CT concepts—decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction and algorithmic thinking. • Resources for deeper understanding and discussion questions for professional development and reflection on the practice of teaching coding and CT. • Tips on demystifying basic coding concepts so that teachers are comfortable teaching these concepts to their students. No Fear Coding, Second Edition will help build students’ coding and CT knowledge to prepare them for the middle grades and beyond.
