The defense department seems to think that the shortage of computer geeks in the U.S. poses a serious security risk for the country. As goofy as it may seem, I think they have a valid point.
The Pentagon’s far-out research arm Darpa is soliciting proposals for initiatives that would attract teens to careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), with an emphasis on computing. According to the Computer Research Association, computer science enrollment dropped 43 percent between 2003 and 2006.
