MiSTEM Network Celebrates
Computer Science Education Week
December 7- 11
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has proclaimed December 7-13 “Computer Science Education Week” in Michigan, recognizing that computer science is a 21st-century skill that is listed among the top 50 job growth areas in Michigan.
Computer science jobs are the number-one source of new wages in the United States, and these jobs are projected to grow at twice the rate of all other jobs. Careers grounded in computer science often lead to high-tech, high-wage sustainable jobs, and engaging students early increases their confidence, determination and creativity.
Michiganders are invited to join together in an attempt to gain a Guinness World Records title during a free, online computer programming event aimed at helping Michigan achieve its goal to become a leader in computer science education and talent through supporting high-quality instruction.
The Michigan Computer Science Leadership Summit is the first annual gathering of education leaders to drive computer implementation in Michigan. We welcome organization leaders, business leaders, institutions of higher education, curriculum leaders, administrators, and CS teacher leaders to join us as we provide direction to the state’s implementation.The Michigan Computer Science Leadership Summit is the first annual gathering of education leaders to drive computer implementation in Michigan.
