NPR Article on CS at an Early Age
Hi all,
This article was passed my way on getting more interest in CS at an earlier age. Just imagine if everyone started learning how to code when they were also learning how to read and write...

Shuffling Algorithms
This comes from Michael Malis, who wanted to share a link he came across regarding shuffling algorithms. Might come in handy as you work through Shoe.

Google Code-in
Beginning Monday, November 18th, 13-17 year old
pre-university students from around the world can register and start competing
in Google Code-in 2013. The Google Code-in is an online contest designed to
introduce pre-university students to the world of open source software
development. Participants complete “tasks” of their choice from 10 open source
software projects (Apertium, BRLCAD, Copyleft Games Group, Drupal, Haiku, KDE,
RTEMS, Sahana Software Foundation, Sugar Labs, and Wikimedia Foundation).
Since open source development is much more than just computer programming, there are lots of different kinds of tasks to choose from, in categories such as coding (in multiple programming languages), documentation, user interface, quality assurance, research and outreach. Students can earn t-shirts and certificates for their work and 20 dedicated students, 2 chosen by each of the 10 software projects, will win a trip to Google in Mountain View, CA, USA next spring.
During the past 3 years of the contest, over 1200 students from 71 countries completed tasks in the contest. This year we hope to have even more students participate globally. Please help us spread the word and bring more students into the open source family!
Visit google-melange.com to read our Frequently Asked Questions for all the details on how to participate, important dates and the Contest Rules. Students can start working on tasks for the contest November 18th. For more information please contact Google Code-in Program Manager, Stephanie Taylor at sttaylor@google.com.
