“The Birth of a Nation” hits all

All Summit where Google, Boys
& Girls Club of America and the
Corporation for National and
Community Service announced
computer science programming
for six underserved communities

scientists and answer a call by
President Obama that every
American student should have
the opportunity to learn comput-
er science.
