Georgia Tech received about $2 million in federal grants to support two projects designed to improve high school computer science lessons by making the material more interesting to students and by giving their teachers more training. About half the money will go toward a program that encourages students to study computer science by allowing teens to remix hip hop music by writing computer code. The remaining money will go toward a three-year project to produce and train more high school computer science teachers.
