It’s Computer Science Education week! Today we celebrate the life and achievements of Alan Turing, an English mathematician, computer scientist, and the person largely responsible for modern digital computers. He developed the first digital computer, known then as a "Turing Machine" to break German Nazi codes during World War II and went on to study theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and computational biology. Sadly, Turing was persecuted by the British government for being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, threatened with jail time for being gay, stripped of his security clearance, and subsequently surveilled as a danger to national interests. Tragically, Alan Turing died at the age of 42, but his legacy has continued to impact our society for decades.
