Setting the pace in computer science education | Opinion – Paragould Daily Press

This year for the first time, enrollment in computer science courses topped 10,000, the sixth straight year enrollment has increased, and today Id like to talk about whats happening and whats down the road.

To be exact, the number of Arkansas high school students taking at least one computer science course is 10,450. That is an increase of six-and-a-half percent over the last school year and nearly 850 percent increase over the 1,100 students who were enrolled six years ago.

We showed improvement in other areas as well. For the first time in Arkansas, the percentage of African American students who are taking a computer science class exceeds the percentage of all African American students enrolled in Arkansas high schools. Also for the first time, the percentage of all minority students taking a high school computer science course exceeds the percentage of all minority students enrolled in our high schools.

In addition, we continue to show tremendous growth in the number of girls who are taking computer science. When we started this initiative, 223 girls were enrolled in a computer science class. This year, the Arkansas Department of Education reports that the number has jumped to 3,135. That is a 1,300 percent increase over 2014.

Many publications and tech organizations, such as Code.org, have recognized Arkansas as a leader in computer science education. But we cant rest on our success, which is why Im working with the Arkansas General Assembly to open up more opportunities for our young people. Last year, I created the Computer Science and Cybersecurity Task Force, and one of its recommendations is to require a computer science course to be taken for graduation. I am grateful to Senator Jane English for sponsoring this legislation and recognizing its importance. And, by the school year 2022-2023, every high school in the state must employ at least one teacher who is certified to teach computer science.

When we became the first state in the nation to require all high schools to teach computer science, our goal was to increase enrollment to 7,500 by the 2019-2020 school year. We surpassed that goal a year early. This year, even with COVID-19, we topped over 10,000. We have done that because educators and students embraced the initiative. We have enhanced our education system, strengthened our workforce, and we are continuing to set the pace.

Center to advance predictive simulation research established at MIT Schwarzman College of Computing – MIT News

Understanding the degradation of materials in extreme environments is a scientific problem with major technological applications, ranging from spaceflight to industrial and nuclear safety. Yet it presents an intrinsic challenge: Researchers cannot easily reproduce these environments in the laboratory or observe essential degradation processes in real-time. Computational modeling and simulation have consequently become indispensable tools in helping to predict the behavior of complex materials across a range of strenuous conditions

At MIT, a new research effort aims to advance the state-of-the-art in predictive simulation as well as shape new interdisciplinary graduate education programs at the intersection of computational science and computer science.

Strengthening engagement with the sciences

The Center for Exascale Simulation of Materials in Extreme Environments (CESMIX) based at the Center for Computational Science and Engineering (CCSE) within the MIT Stephen A. Schwarzman College of Computing will bring together researchers in numerical algorithms and scientific computing, quantum chemistry, materials science, and computer science to connect quantum and molecular simulations of materials with advanced programming languages, compiler technologies, and software performance engineering tools, underpinned by rigorous approaches to statistical inference and uncertainty quantification.

One of the goals of CESMIX is to build a substantive link between computer science and computational science and engineering, something that historically has been hard to do, but is sorely needed, says Daniel Huttenlocher, dean of the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing. The center will also provide opportunities for faculty, researchers, and students across MIT to interact intellectually and create a new synthesis of different disciplines, which is central to the mission of the college.

Leading the project as principal investigator is Youssef Marzouk, professor of aeronautics and astronautics and co-director of CCSE, which was renamed from the Center of Computational Engineering in January to reflect its strengthening engagement with the sciences at MIT. Marzouk, who is also a member of the Statistics and Data Science Center, notes that CESMIX is trying to do two things simultaneously. On the one hand, we want to solve an incredibly challenging multiscale simulation problem, harnessing quantum mechanical models of complex materials to achieve unprecedented accuracy at the engineering scale. On the other hand, we want to create tools that make development and holistic performance engineering of the associated software stack as easy as possible, to achieve top performance on the coming generation of exascale computational hardware.

The project involves participation from an interdisciplinary cohort of eight faculty members, serving as co-PIs, and research scientists spanning multiple labs and departments at MIT. The full list of participants includes:

MIT was among a total of nine universities selected as part of the Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program (PSAAP) III to form a new center to support science-based modeling and simulation and exascale computing technologies. This is the third time that PSAAP centers have been awarded by the U.S. Department of Energys National Nuclear Security Administration (DoE/NNSA) since the program launched in 2008 and is the first time that the Institute has ever been selected. MIT is one of just two institutions nationwide chosen to establish a Single-Discipline Center in this round and will receive up to $9.5 million in funding through a cooperative agreement over five years.

Advancing predictive simulation

CESMIX will focus on exascale simulation of materials in hypersonic flow environments. It will also drive the development of new predictive simulation paradigms and computer science tools for the exascale. Researchers will specifically aim to predict the degradation of complex (disordered and multi-component) materials under extreme loading inaccessible to direct experimental observation an application representing a technology domain of intense current interest, and one that exemplifies an important class of scientific problems involving material interfaces in extreme environments.

A big challenge here is in being able to predict what reactions will occur and what new molecules will form under these conditions. While quantum mechanical modeling will enable us to predict these events, we also need to be able to address the times and length scalesof these processes, says Kulik, who is also a faculty member of CCSE. Our efforts will be focused on developing the needed software and machine learning tools that tell us when more affordable physical models can address the length scalechallenge and when we need quantum mechanics to address the accuracy challenge.

CESMIX researchers plan on disseminating their results via multiple open-source software projects, engaging their developer and user communities. The project will also support the work of postdocs, graduate students, and research scientists at MIT with the overarching goal of creating new paradigms of practice for the next generation of computational scientists.

Cloud tiering: picking the right cloud tier for short and long term storage – Information Age

Data for short and long term storage needs to be treated differently to get the best out of it, so choosing the right tier is vital

Cloud tiering is highly practical when addressing backup data.

With the Covid-19 pandemic causing economic uncertainty, choosing the right investments to make in cloud storage is as important as ever, if not more. Cloud tiering is coming to the fore as a way to store unstructured data and assets that have minimal use. But this is only effective if the right infrastructure changes are made.

A notable example of where this process can be useful is for object storage of backup data. This type of storage has infinite scaling capabilities and is compatible with all sizes and formats. You can use cloud tiering for object storage, resulting in having backup data properly organised and keeping low-priority assets away from expensive tiers.

Cloud tiering solutions are designed for destinations that can handle masses of unstructured backup data, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Azure block blobs. Typically, data can be placed into the following tiers, all of which have varying price ranges and uses:

Here, the types of data that are less used but are needed for regulatory reasons, stored in the cloud, are kept secure by not being possible to be accessed or restored for at least a year.

Using cloud tiers to store backup data comes with the benefit of monthly operational expenditure (OpEx) thats easier to control than capital expenditure (CapEx), the cost model that comes with the two most shallow tiers shown above.

Gartner has identified 10 ways that organisations can quickly reduce IT costs in the tough times caused by Covid-19. Read here

Even if recovery time for retrieving data from either of the two cloud tiers isnt a problem for your organisation, the case for keeping some backup data away from the cloud is two-fold. Firstly, cloud storage comes with transaction costs, with CapEx models coming with higher costs per gigabyte to request data.

Secondly, network costs are likely to increase when retrieving backup data from the cloud; maintaining a WAN link for cloud tiering requires additional bandwidth, the costs for which are not included in data transfer charges.

Having a combination of CapEx and Opex approaches, as well as cloud and on-premise, provides the benefits of both low overhead and pricing of the OpEx, alongside the short time to first byte (TtFB) of the CapEx model.

Data stored as hot and cold objects in the cloud can be retained for up to three years, while assets categorised as archive and deep archive can be kept for even longer. But what else needs to be considered when choosing which of the deepest tiers to use?

Hot and cold object storage is best for preparing for audits carried out by IT departments. As such, the kind of data that is suitable for this tier, while not required as regularly as local or remote storage data, should be available for when the audit takes place.

Meanwhile, the long term archive and deep storage is best for demonstrating compliance with governmental and regulatory bodies and laws. Because this data is the least used within the enterprise, it needs to be kept in the cheapest tier.

Andy Cotgreave, senior director at Tableau Software, explores the need for trusted data and how organisations can find it. Read here

QoreStor from Quest secures backup data using built-in encryption, secure connect and FIPS 140-2 compliance. The platforms deduplication capabilities prevent you from making the costly error of inadvertently sending duplicate data to the cloud. Also, QoreStor compresses the data, which along with this reduplication process, eases the strain on the wide area network (WAN).

With economic uncertainty rife and regulation continuing to evolve, you need to make the best investments possible for backup storage, while ensuring that data compliance criteria is met.

Quest Software is an IT management software company that looks to help organisations through the toughest IT challenges while keeping up with future developments.

Migrating From Dropbox To Google Drive in 2020: Cloud Swapping – Cloudwards

Migrating From Dropbox To Google Drive in 2020: Cloud Swapping Search

If youre thinking of migrating from Dropbox to Google Drive, then youll need a way to move everything youve saved as easily and quickly as possible. Luckily, there are two great ways to do this, and in this article, well review both methods and why you would want to use them.

Before you begin any data migration, you should make sure that you actually need to transfer all of your files. Google Drive is a great solution if you work in Google Docs or keep many photos in the cloud. However, if you want the best collaboration or file-syncing features, Dropbox may still be the best cloud service for some of your data.

You can move photos from Dropbox to Google Drive in the same way you would transfer any other file either through the desktop folders or with a third-party app. However, you can also use these methods to move the image to Google Photos, which has better duplicate detection and the ability to create albums.

You can transfer a shared folder from Dropbox to Google Drive as you would with any other folder. However, your files would no longer sync with the users you were sharing with, unless you share the folder again through Google Drive.

There are a few features that make Google Drive better, and if you plan to use them theyre worth the time itll take to transfer everything from another cloud service. The two main reasons you might want to move include the way it handles photos and the more generous pricing structure with a larger free plan.

Google Drive is a decent service on its own, but it really shines when you take advantage of the close integration within the Google Workspace. You can use Google Drive to keep your Google Docs and Gmail attachments safe while also using one of the best cloud storage services for photos Google Photos.

On the other hand, Dropbox really shines when it comes to collaboration. It also has a high-speed block-level sync to keep your files up-to-date without using too much bandwidth, and its strong rewind feature makes it a great cloud storage for versioning.

If you want more details about the specific features that each provider offers as well as how they stand up to OneDrive you can find them in our full Dropbox vs Google Drive vs OneDrive comparison.

Moving files from Dropbox to Google Drive is as simple as downloading them to your computer and then uploading them to the other cloud service.

However, if you plan to migrate your entire account, this will take some time, and youll need plenty of space on your hard drive. The best way to do this is to download the desktop applications and sync your cloud storage to your device.

Youll first need the desktop applications for both services. You can read our full how-to guides for both Dropbox and Google Drive to learn what each app can do, but as long as youve installed both of them, youll have access to the sync folders.

You can find both sync folders inside your user folder.

You can find both the Dropbox and Google Drive folders in Windows File Explorer in the quick access menu on the right or in your user folder. Open them in separate windows so that you can transfer files.

You should be able to see the files that you stored with both cloud services.

With both folders open, you can select all of the files to move from Dropbox and simply drag and drop them over to Google Drive.

With the files selected, drag and drop them into your Google Drive folder.

Although manual data migration is an easy one-off solution for small groups of files, if you want to regularly sync data or transfer files between different users, you should use a cloud-to-cloud management service. Our favorite and the one well use here is MultCloud, as its easy to use, is great for a one-off file transfer and offers a decent free plan.

Go to MultCloud.com and create a free account. After you have activated it, sign in to your MultCloud account. (Note: You can also create temporary user accounts on MultCloud, but you wont be able to get help accessing it if you forget the password.)

Create your free MultCloud account and sign in.

Click on the add cloud drives tab on the left of the screen, select Dropbox and add your Dropbox account. Then repeat this for your Google Drive account.

Add your Dropbox and Google Drive accounts to MultCloud.

Open the Dropbox tab on the left of the screen to see everything inside your Dropbox storage. You can either select the specific files and folders that you want to move or click the select all box at the top to transfer everything.

Select all of the files and folders you want to move.

Now right-click on the selected items and click copy to. In the window that opens, select the folder where you want to place your transfer and check the move box. That will start to transfer your files to Google Drive and delete the data from Dropbox after its moved.

Either copy or move your files to your Google Drive folder.

MultCloud will begin to move the files from Dropbox to Google Drive. You can monitor this process with the progress window in the bottom-right corner.

Wait for everything to transfer across as this may take some time.

The process of moving files from one cloud storage to another is rather simple, and all you need are the desktop applications for each service. These will prepare everything automatically, so youll know when your files are ready for you to upload them to the new service.

However, a cloud-to-cloud management service will speed up the whole process, and you wont need to download everything to your device before you can upload anything. MultCloud is our favorite option here, although there are other options, such as CloudHQ.

Have you done a file transfer to a different cloud storage service? Did you migrate from Dropbox to Google Drive? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below. Thanks for reading.

4-H ignites a passion for science and technology in Minnesota youth – Southernminn.com

Imagine. Your whole body vibrates as your spacecraft prepares for ascent; indicator knobs light up like fireworks in the sky. With hands-on activities in tow; space command counts down for your departure...three, two, one BLAST OFF.

4-H STEM programming, from engineering to drone racing to polymer science, offers youth of all ages the chance to explore and discover a universe of exciting opportunities.

Our goal for 4-H STEM experiences is for youth to find their spark, said Michael Compton, Extension educator and director of 4-H STEM programs. And we want to help them become better communicators, problem solvers, decision makers, and collaborators too.

14,487 Minnesota youth took part in 4-H technology and engineering experiences last year.

Constructing a new world

Red dust makes clouds in the atmosphere as we land at our first stop on this 4-H STEM adventure. Craters and canyons engrave the rock. We are just about ready to explore, but first we need our spacesuits!

40 youth from 10 Minnesota counties are engaged in five, 30 minute sessions during the week of Nov. 16 through Nov. 24 in the exploration called Mission to Mars. This hybrid learning series combines live online sessions with hands-on learning activities that ensure young participants can dig deep into the wonders of building a life on Mars.

Each participant received an at-home learning kit to support their experience. The kits included all the supplies necessary for hands-on activities that explore how mechanical engineering, physics, computer science and agriculture play critical roles in creating inhabitable societies.

At live online meetings, youth interact with one another, share what they learned from the at-home activities and work together to complete a weekly mission. The Nov. 17 session, called Red Planet Odyssey Adventure, challenged youth to use a set list of materials to build their very own rovers that could explore the surface of Mars (or their living room).

The combination of collaborative and independent learning creates space for youth to explore what gets them excited and share their learning with others who have similar passions. I learned that Mariner 9 mapped 85% of the Mars surface and sent back over 7,000 images to Earth! said Sydney Ogren of Anoka County. Her excitement and surprise was shared by Aliee Ravinski from St. Louis County, who was shocked to learn that Mars temperature is inhabitable to humans. I didnt know Mars has permafrost! she said with clear enthusiasm.

Engineering a better drone

After the exciting visit to our Mission to Mars, we descend back to Earth and land in Chisago County where 4-Hers are exploring robotics, coding and aerospace engineering in the 4-H Drones Club. This new STEM program is for youth in grades 6-13 who are curious about hands-on career options in tech.

When in session, club members learn how to build drones from scratch, practice drone flying using computer simulation and design drone race courses for real world experience. I learned how to fly and solder a drone, said Marshall Tveit, a 13 year old from Isanti County. And Im better able to explain new things when showing them to people.

Extension Educators Jeremy Freeman (Chisago) and Jennifer Johnson (Isanti) brought drone programming to 4-H beginning of 2019 in partnership with Youth Drone Sports. Not only do youth explore the mechanics of drone design, they also get to meet people from different backgrounds and walks of life, said Freeman. Our club members have been invited to drone flying competitions across the Twin Cities since the program began and have met some great people.

The 4-H Drone Club is scheduled to expand to Benton and Isanti Counties with the goal of tripling total capacity.

Discovering new possibilities

After all that flying, were settling back into life on Earths surface. Our legs feel like jelly but were on the path to learn even more about how STEM makes a difference for our communities and world.

The 4-H Green Superheroes of Science League is a learning series that engages kindergarten through third grade youth in experiments connected to polymer science. There are 59 youth from 23 Minnesota counties who are participating this fall.

The goal of the program is to excite our youngest 4-H members in science and engineering, says Anne Stevenson, Extension educator, and member of the 4-H STEM team. We want all young people to develop science skills such as making observations using their senses, and planning and conducting investigations.

The 4-H Green Superheroes meet weekly online to show and tell what they explored, tested and discovered during video-guided at-home experiments. Hannah Grant, a 7 year old from Goodhue County talked about her discoveries during the programs first experiment: How to make the best slime. She tried two different slime recipes; one provided by a 4-H teen teacher and the other of her own creation, and then compared their properties. Each was different, she said Sometimes things can be good in different ways.

4-H offers a variety of STEM learning experiences for youth of all ages. Find your next 4-H STEM adventure on our website.

Protect Yourself Online With These 5 Essential Security Apps – MakeUseOf

These five apps will keep you safe while browsing. Get the deal today.

As the number of online threats grows exponentially, the importance of keeping yourself safe while you're online is becoming greater with every passing day.

Of course, we all know that you should use a VPN, a password manager, a secure online storage provider, and so on. But it is easier said than done. Yes, these types of apps are essential, but they also cost money. And in these COVID times, most people don't have the spare money to justify the outlay.

But don't worry, as always, MakeUseOf can help. Today, we have managed to bag readers a huge discount on five premium security apps.

Let's take a closer look.

The five apps in today's deal are Ivacy VPN, Password Boss, ThunderDrive, AdGuard, and Timelinr.

You'll get a lifetime subscription to Ivacy VPN as part of the bundle. In total, Ivacy has more than 1,000 servers spread over 100 locations worldwide. That means you can keep yourself safe, but can also unblock streaming services that have geo-restrictions in your actual location.

Importantly, Ivacy is an official partner of the National Cyber Security Alliance, so you can confident that it is a provider you can trust.

Password Boss is a password manager. It willstore and auto-fill usernames and passwords for all your online accounts, meaning you can set highly secure passwords (using lots of special characters!) and not have to worry about remembering them all every time you need to log in to an account.

You can store an unlimited number of passwords and sync them between all your devices. Again, this is a lifetime subscription.

ThunderDrive is a secure cloud storage service that uses 256-bit AES encryption; you can do all the usual tasks such as creating folders, managing links, and sharing private documents.

However, there is one thing that sets it apart from Google Drive et althe amount of storage. Whereas you'll only get 15GB with Google, ThunderDrive gives you a massive 500GB.

The deal gives you lifetime access.

AdGuard is one of the world's most advanced ad blockers. However, the app offers more than that; it also includes a full-featured parental control tool and a privacy protection module.

All this conspires to help keep you and your family safe from annoying and intrusive ads that might try to deliver malware to your machine.

Just remember to whitelist MakeUseOf!

The final app in the bundle is Timelinr. It's a collaboration tool that helps you to create project roadmaps, plan tasks and resources, and share your projects with colleagues.

It offers unlimited timelines and sharing across all users.

Lifetime access to all these plans has a regular cost of $1740, but we can offer readers a 94 percent discount. That means you pay just $90.
