CS Heroes

CS Heroes are individuals making a difference in computer science. We recognize those whose computer science work has contributed and harnessed the good in computer science. This year, we reflect on past successes while inspiring the next generation to leap into new possibilities.

CSEdWeek Kickoff: Impacts of Computing

On Monday, Dec. 4, 2023, we kicked off CSEdWeek 2023. CSEdWeek is an annual program that inspires K-12 students to take an interest in CS. This year, our focus will be on the Impacts of Computing. “Impacts of Computing” refers to the positive and negative effects on various aspects of our lives, including education, privacy, security, and accessibility. A panel of 2023 CSHeroes will discuss these topics with a particular focus on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science.
