What should students know about computer science and AI to thrive in a modern society? CS@AIR Center Director Katie Rich recently contributed to reviewing the 2026 K-12 Computer Science Standards. These standards provide key guidance to educators and students on what is needed in computing education. Congratulations to the Computer Science Teachers Association and all the reviewers for this substantial and important work to advance CS and AI education.

Have you ever known this? Charles Babbage designed the Analytical Engine, beginning the work in the mid‑19th century and continuing until his death in 1871. The Analytical Engine is widely regarded as the first conceptual design of a general‑purpose computer, featuring a mill (CPU), store (memory), punched‑card input, and automated output. However, the machine was never fully built, but portions and trial models survive in the Science Museum in London.

On Day 1 of CMS3, Lisa Perez is presenting a module dedicated to learning how to access and use high-performance research computing resources as well as parallel computing: https://cms3.tamu.edu/
