Computer Science Education Week Website is Live

The Computer Science Education week web site is now live at http://www.csedweek.org/ Some good stuff there. I especially like the “Why computer science” page.

• Computing is ubiquitous; it touches everyone’s daily lives
• Computer science-related jobs remain strong despite extraordinary economic challenges
• Numerous issues depend on computing, including the following:
  • Securing our cyber-infrastructure
  • Protecting national security
  • Implementing electronic health records
  • Increasing efficiency of the energy infrastructure

And there are quite a few resources listed in the computer science education resource page. NCWIT has a resource page at http://ncwit.org/resources.res.talking.curriculum.html as well.

Microsoft is a proud sponsor of Computer Science Education week and has a web site up at http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/events/csew/ for the occasion. Articles and information about computer science careers, learning resources and links to other CS Ed Week sites and information.
