What's New?
There has been a 40-60% drop in computer science majors nationwide since 2001. Studies of attitudes towards computing show that many students either don't have any idea what it is or believe all the negative stereotypes: computing is boring, abstract, anti-social, not creative, and irrelevant. Media computation attacks these stereotypes by teaching all the usual computing concepts in ways that are interesting, concrete, social, creative, and relevant.
