ion." These images do not foster collaboration with other fields and do not excite the curiosity of young people. In this session, Astrachan and Denning will discuss what they see as high leverage points for curriculum innovation. Astrachan will focus on problem-based learning, a way of bringing students directly into contact with real issues in the world where computation can help. Denning will focus on the Great Principles of Computing and on the development of foundational skills of innovation among curriculum innovators. They will answer questions from the audience and provide feedback to the ACM Education Board and ACM Education Council.
