As the world continues to grow more intellectually advanced, so does the quality of academics, even at the earliest levels. A study from the Harvard Graduate School of Education found that children who experience quality early childhood education are less likely to be placed in special education, less likely to be held back a grade, and more likely to graduate from high school. Since many parents see their children s first foray into formal education as a make-or-break gauntlet that will define the course of their child s academic career, it stands to reason that this stress could only be amplified when it comes to choosing a high school, the time in a young person s life when they undergo many emotional, physical, and psychological changes.

Talk Abstract: Research in programming methodology led to the development of the principles and methods that underlie how the implementations of modern software systems are designed and organized. At the center of this work are the notions of abstraction and modularity. These ideas are related: design is the process of inventing and identifying abstractions, which become the modules that make up the implementation. This talk will discuss our current understanding of abstraction and modularity and the research that got us to where we are today.
