A feature story in the Daily Hampshire Gazette looks at 'Exploring Computer Science,' a professional development workshop for high school teachers held earlier this month at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center in Holyoke.
The weeklong workshop was part of a statewide program organized by CICS, under the leadership of professor Rick Adrion, and the Massachusetts Exploring Computer Science Partnership. It was funded by a $40,000 National Science Foundation grant.
