Our crystal ball is showing a future Computer Science Education CertificateAre you slated to teach computer science at your school? Did you know that the Hawai‘i State Legislature passed a bill to require computer science in all schools? The UH Mānoa College of Education and College of Natural Sciences are partnering to develop a computer science education certificate program. This certificate program would be open to any undergraduate student in Mānoa.
