December 6, 2009 - Computer Science Education Week
Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek), December 6-12, 2009, was recently designated by the U.S. House of Representatives to recognize the transformative role of computing and the need to bolster computer science at all educational levels.  As a vital member of the education stakeholder community, the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is reaching out to you to help get the word out about CSEdWeek among your colleagues, members and friends. The need to expose students to computer science has never been more apparent, yet there are numerous challenges in realizing this goal-particularly in K-12 education.

Working together, we can highlight how computing drives innovation, economic growth and societal change. We can also draw attention to the need for an educational system that values computer science as a discipline and places it squarely within the national science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) conversation.
