Close Modal Computer Science Education Weekend Connect with local inventors, computer scientists, roboticists, and others exploring the exciting world 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 13 and 14, with fun and educational hands-on activities for visitors of all ages.
