Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek), December 6-12, recognizes the critical role of computing in society and the need to expose more students to the opportunities Computer Science presents.
ACM has created a central hub for CSEdWeek which houses Computer Science curriculum guides, data, research, posters, and brochures. The site highlights best practices that demonstrate the rigorous level of Computer Science education necessary to train future innovators as well as ways to engage and excite students about these courses. The site also provides a platform to share and celebrate ideas at the national and local levels through interactive links to Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
CSEdWeek is a joint effort led by ACM with the cooperation and deep involvement of the Computer Science Teachers Association, the Computing Research Association, the National Center for Women & Information Technology, the Anita Borg Institute, the National Science Foundation, Google, Inc., Intel, and Microsoft. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the resolution creating CSEdWeek, which was introduced by Congressmen Vernon Ehlers (R-MI) and Jared Polis (D-CO).
The week was designated in honor of Grace Murray Hoppers’ Birthday on December 9th. Learn more about Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper and her contributions to computer science on our website.
