BRENHAM HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER RECEIVES GRANT TO ATTEND CONFERENCE IN CHINA

  

A Brenham High School teacher has been selected for a grant to attend a conference in China.

Computer Science teacher Trenton Hall was selected by the National Science Foundation as a grant recipient to attend the first ever Global Computing Education Conference in Chengdu, China in May.

The event will be hosted by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), which was founded in 1947 to advance computing as a science and profession.

Last year, Hall attended the Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education conference in Baltimore.  The computing educating conference is hosted annually by ACM in North America.

This year, Hall says he hopes to learn from an even more diverse group of educators and get new ideas for overcoming challenges and advocating for computer Science education.  He adds that Computer Science is one of the fastest growing and demanded skills in the job market, and learning its foundations early can “open up endless possibilities” for students.
