Shout out to our interns

Last week was National Intern Day, which gave me another reason to reflect on the many students I’ve worked with over the last seven years contributing to the K-12 CS Education Research Resource Center on our site.

The Resource Center has been under development since 2017. Originally funded under a National Science Foundation grant and now from Amazon Future Engineer, we owe much to the many interns who have worked on our project over the course of this time. This is true whether they provided support to our mission over one semester or three years. I’m also thrilled to say that I was fortunate enough to publish several articles together with one-third of our interns in an effort to engage them in computing education research. (Why, yes, that was my attempt to bring them to the dark side!)

It’s really incredible and I am personally grateful for their contributions and camaraderie. I’m also thankful that so many have stayed in touch with me after graduating and starting their post-college careers.

So, HUGE SHOUT OUT to all of you! And many, many thanks from me and a grateful research community who still uses your contributions today.

Monica McGill, President & CEO, CSEdResearch.org
