Awards
2012 ACM SIGCSE Award for Outstanding Contribution to Computer Science Education
Harold (Hal) Abelson
For improving not only the way we teach computing by his contributions to Logo, App Inventor, and his textbook authorship but also the way we view knowledge in the broader society, through his leadership with the Free Software and Open Educational Resources movements and his founding efforts with the Creative Commons initiative.
2012 ACM SIGCSE Award for Lifetime Service to the Computer Science Education Community
Jane Prey
For her love of and dedication to the computing education community -- academic, industry, government and professional societies; and for her tireless efforts in encouraging more students, especially women, to pursue education and careers in computing.
