Abstract
Computing is pervasive. It permeates our lives in countless ways on a daily basis. As such, computer science should be an essential component of a wellrounded education. Unfortunately, the state of computer science education is poor and there are indications that it is getting worse. Computer Science Education Week was established in 2009 to raise awareness regarding the importance of computing in today's society and to recognize the need to bolster computer science education at all levels. In support of Computer Science Education Week, the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems at Bradley University has organized and facilitated several activities to help raise awareness and excite young people about computer science. Workshops in programming, Lego robotics, mobile computing, and mathematics were offered to local high school students. Through the successes and failures of our programs, valuable lessons and insights have been gained into improving computer science education outreach activities.
