Computer Science Education Week aims to eliminate misperceptions about computer science and computing careers, communicate the opportunities for which a computer science education prepares students, and advocate for computer science at all levels. During the week of December 5–11, 2010, Microsoft was proud to partner in this national call to action to raise awareness about computer science education and computing careers.

About Computer Science Education Week
Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek), designated by the U.S. House of Representatives as the week of computing pioneer Grace Hopper's birthday, recognizes the transformative role of computing and the need to bolster computer science at all educational levels.
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and its partners will promote CSEdWeek in order to:
- Raise awareness of the critical role of computing for our global information society
- Promote efforts to expose students—particularly in grades K-12—to robust computer science education
- Highlight the challenges facing computer science education
- Engage supporters to prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need for the 21st century
