Industry's role in supporting high-school science programs

Published: 03 March 1959 Publication History

Abstract

An introductory statement was presented by the chairman, a member of the WJCC Technical Program Committee. He pointed out that the objective of the meeting was to bring information on cooperative industry-school programs to the attention of interested computer people as well as invited high-school principals from the Bay area (20 out of 100 invitees attended). Through this meeting, the computer industry expressed interest and willingness to cooperate in additional similar programs wherever the need may be evidenced by schools or teachers. It is not the intent to restrict such programs to involve computer technology only, but to participate in broad science programs including a computer portion. In this way, students aiming at careers in science will be exposed to computer techniques as one of their available tools, while potential computer people will have attained a broader grasp of basic technology.
