NSA Recruiting

I like to talk to my students in Computer Science about career options and what and where they can do things later on life.
I had all of my classes take a look at the NSA recruiting page to see where NSA had needs.

They were very impressed that Computer Science and Computer Engineering were in high demand.
Several of my students have Cyber Security career ambitions so this is very good information for them to have.

UK Wants More Kids Cranking Code

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15923113

This article discusses the view in the UK that students should be “cranking more code” and learning more about Computer Science.  This is currently not the case and there are ongoing discussions about how to beef up the CS educational component.

“The teaching of computer science must become more relevant to modern needs, said the government.”
This quote is great and sends a clear message that change must occur.
