In Georgia, there are approximately 519,000 high school students. In the 2016-17 school year less than 10 percent, only 43,000 students, enrolled in CS courses of any kind.

He is fascinated, he says, by purely mechanical methods of keeping time, by watches and clocks built solely of gears that can stay accurate to within a second a week. Though he carries the title of computer scientist,\u0026nbsp;Conte\u0026nbsp;is at least as much an engineer, something that comes both from personal proclivity and professional training.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;I do an inordinate amount of industry-funded research\u0026mdash;you have to, in computer architecture,\u0026rdquo; he says. \u0026ldquo;It keeps you practical and grounded in real problems.
