A New Research Center at Carnegie Mellon U.
Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University will collaborate through a new computer-science research center, the company and university jointly announced Monday during the Symposium on Computational Thinking on Carnegie Mellon's Pittsburgh campus.
The Microsoft Carnegie Mellon Center for Computational Thinking will support computer scientists' efforts to solve "real world" problems in areas such as privacy, e-commerce, and embedded medical devices. The center will also develop and make available courses and lesson plans for students in kindergarten through graduate school. Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon researchers will meet at the center for annual "mindswaps" to encourage further collaboration. The research center is the eighth that Microsoft has created worldwide.--Sierra Millman
