Dear ACM Member,
May 12th marks the first National Lab Day, a partnership of more than 200
industry and non-profit organizations and volunteers. This year-round effort
is designed to bring high-quality, hands-on science, technology,
engineering, mathematics and computer science education experiences to
middle and high school students.
National Lab Day is seeking volunteers from the ACM community to be paired
with local K-12 teachers through the NLD website. Learn more and sign up to
search the NLD interactive map to find projects for your skills, timeframe
and location at:
http://www.nationallabday.org/groups/acm
Currently, nearly 50 teacher-identified computer science projects and
hundreds of other discipline-specific projects needing volunteers are
listed. Your commitment could be as little as a few hours but it is critical
to NLD’s success. Volunteer opportunities cover a wide range from mentoring,
to helping design and implement hands-on projects, to identifying computing
resources.
Please join in this nationwide movement to support active teaching, inspire
children, and build long-term relationships between science professionals
and the K-12 classroom.

ACM Chief Executive Officer

P.S. ACM led a joint effort to establish the first Computer Science
Education Week last December with CSTA, NCWIT, CRA, and the support of
Google Inc., Intel, and Microsoft. CSEDWeek demonstrates the strength of the
national STEM education movement, of which National Lab Day is a part. Learn
more about CSEDWeek, and discover how computer science touches everyone’s
lives and plays a critical role in society at: http://www.csedweek.org/
