Close Modal Computer Science Education Weekend Meet local inventors, computer scientists, roboticists, and others in the fascinating field of computer science during our annual weekend celebration at the Museum of Science! Computer Science Education Week is observed each year in recognition of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906 – January 1, 1992). Known as the mother of computing, Hopper developed the first computer compiler and the first computer programming language while working at Harvard. We are marking the week’s culmination with our very own Computer Science Education Weekend, December 14 and 15, with fun and educational hands-on activities for visitors of all ages.
