December 5-11 is Computer Science Education Week
The week aims to:- Eliminate misperceptions about computer science
- Communicate the endless opportunities for which computer science education prepares students in K-12, higher education and careers
- Provide information and activities for students, educators, parents, and corporations to advocate for computer science education at all levels.
Computer science plays a critical role in society by driving economic growth and creating today's most exciting innovations. Computer science education prepares students for careers that are plentiful and financially rewarding, and exposes them to vital critical thinking skills. Yet issues with curricula, standards, diversity, professional development, and certification prevent many students and teachers from engaging in computer science education.
