Submission + - U.S. House passes National CS Education Week (calvin.edu)
Jedi74 writes: A Calvin computer science professor (and Microwulf inventor) has paired with a Calvin graduate serving in the U.S. House of Representatives to designate the week of December 7, 2009, as National Computer Science Education Week. House Resolution 558 was introduced by former Calvin physics professor Vern Ehlers, a long-serving member of Congress, because of concerns, raised to him by Calvin professor Joel Adams, about the small numbers of computer scientists that U.S. colleges are graduating. Ehlers' resolution, which passed 405-0, encourages greater exposure of students to computer science concepts and more opportunities for females and underrepresented minorities in computer science.
