As a current computer science major, I’m glad to see the ACM in a joint effort to help organize Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek), which started December 7th. The week was chosen specifically in honor of Rear Admiral Dr. Grace Murray Hopper, also known as “Amazing Grace”, or “a little old lady who talks to computers,” who was born on December 9, 1906. She was a computer science pioneer and her work, spanning computer languages, compiler verification, software development concepts, and much more, has served to inspire a generation of computer scientists.
