It’s CS Ed Week!

It’s Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek)!
CSEdWeek, December 4-10, 2011, raises awareness about the impact of computing on innovation and economic growth, as well as the need to bolster computer science education at all levels. CSEdWeek is designed to be celebrated during the week containing December 9, which is Grace Hopper’s birthday (December 9, 1906). Since 2010 the U.S. House of Representatives has designated CSEdWeek as a nationally recognized event with leadership from Congressman Vernon Ehlers and Congressman Jared Polis.
