It is a blog on teaching computer science at the K-12 level. It covers a technology called Kodu which our SIG is planning to pursue. Kodu is a free and simple to use visual programming language from Microsoft designed to teach children how to make video games while practicing important skills. It introduces the logic and problem solving of programming without the complexity. Kodu builds real world skills while having fun by enabling students to build video games that require them to analyze problems, structure their logic and tell their story.

A website managed by the University of Washington. It is a site that is mainly focused on the field of computer science, its importance, and career pathways. You can find movie clips of people who made computer science and engineering their career. They are good examples of computers scientists and engineers who don't sit behind their keyboards programming and designing the latest computer games or avatar. They are in hospitals, offices, and in classrooms. This resource will be used for the career pathway section in our project.
