Artificial Intelligence for Social Good Summer Program by MIT Graduates

AI Scholars Live Online is a 10-session (25 hours) pre-college enrichment program that exposes high school students (grades 9-12) to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and guides them to build a socially impactful project in areas including medicine, astronomy, journalism, finance, and more. Taught by our team of graduate students from Stanford and MIT, students receive a personalized, interdisciplinary learning experience with a student-teacher ratio of 4:1. We offer multiple dates and times for our Spring Semester and Summer Break programs. Students of all backgrounds may apply here (inspiritai.com/apply) by April 30th for Summer and learn more in our brochure or on our website (see here for middle school offerings). Please contact Aidan Goltra at arg2198@columbia.edu with any questions. Thank you!

    posted Apr 2, 2021, 10:24 AM by Central Library   [ updated Apr 2, 2021, 10:27 AM ]

    The Director of the New Hampshire State Library (NHSL) stated yesterday that the NHSL will not be changing the quarantine requirements for Inter Library Loans (ILL) at this time.

    Materials will need to continue to quarantine for 72 hours.

    Between new strands of the virus and an uptick in cases, the NHSL does not feel now is the time to make changes.

    Re-Launch of Sora

    posted Mar 25, 2021, 4:58 AM by Central Library   [ updated Mar 25, 2021, 8:24 AM ]

    The district is re-launching Sora after our initial announcement in January.

    Easily read and listen to books for free with Sora and your school Google Account.

    You have free access to all the selections from within the NH Schools' Digital Collection.  Search or browse, then click on a book to 'borrow' it.  If the book is already checked out, it is 'unavailable' and you have to wait for it to be returned.  There are a few unlimited check-out books, mostly classics like Romeo & Juliet, that are 'Always Available'.

    When first starting Sora, there is no 'setup code'; choose 'Manchester City Schools' when asked for your school. 

    Once in Sora, you may want to change your filter to exclude Elementary content. 

    Find out more about Sora below and have fun checking it out!
