Beyond symbolic math; an overview of new Wolfram Language based tools for Librarians, Educators and Researchers

Dr. Daavid Vaananen will present his reflections from this year's Wolfram Summer School with an overview of tools for Science, Technology and Educational Innovation. Two citizen science projects under development will be discussed: a plant identification project with a web deployable user interface that incorporates machine learning for image recognition and a connected community garden project utilizing a Raspberry Pi powered gardening system, automatically integrated with a computable open access data repository. These projects apply computational thinking to empower local communities and provide educational opportunities towards acquiring higher level skills related to emerging technologies.
