| 60 | +<div class="content"> |
| 61 | + <p>Today we proudly and excitedly announce the formation of |
| 62 | +Rust-Edu, an organization dedicated to Rust education.</p> |
| 63 | +<p><strong>MISSION</strong> — We are committed to promote the adoption of Rust |
| 64 | +throughout the academic world. We believe that we can work with the Rust |
| 65 | +community to provide tools and educational support for students and |
| 66 | +faculty to learn and build in new and better ways. In doing so, we will |
| 67 | +drive the adoption of Rust as a key technology for years to come. While |
| 68 | +we are initially focused on college level learning, long term, we hope |
| 69 | +to broaden our scope.</p> |
| 70 | +<p><strong>GOALS</strong> — We have identified three types of initiative that we want to |
| 71 | +take on:</p> |
| 72 | +<ul> |
| 73 | +<li> |
| 74 | +<p><strong>Create a Rust-based Curriculum</strong> — Our initial effort is focused |
| 75 | +on creating a modular turnkey Rust curriculum for college-level |
| 76 | +Computer Science courses. Starting with an Introductory |
| 77 | +Programming course, we want to build Rust-based modules and entire |
| 78 | +courses covering traditional Computer Science topics such as |
| 79 | +Operating Systems, Programming Languages, Embedded Development, |
| 80 | +and Networking.</p> |
| 81 | +</li> |
| 82 | +<li> |
| 83 | +<p><strong>Make Learning Rust Easier</strong> — We want to leverage the growing |
| 84 | +interest in building tools that make learning and mastering Rust |
| 85 | +easier. We believe that the notorious difficult learning curve of |
| 86 | +the language can be overcome with better tooling for education.</p> |
| 87 | +</li> |
| 88 | +</ul> |
| 89 | +<ul> |
| 90 | +<li><strong>Make Rust More Developer Friendly</strong> — We want to provide feedback |
| 91 | +to the Rust Project itself, helping to make Rust a more learnable |
| 92 | +language for developers. We would like to identify places where we |
| 93 | +can help with syntax, tooling, documentation, exercises, |
| 94 | +and error messages.</li> |
| 95 | +</ul> |
| 96 | +<p><strong>WHO WE ARE</strong> — We are a group of academics and community |
| 97 | +members wanting to make progress and provide focus and |
| 98 | +support for Rust Education, in an environment that warmly |
| 99 | +welcomes all of those who wish to work and play in this |
| 100 | +grand endeavor.</p> |
| 101 | +<p><strong>GET INVOLVED</strong> — We are extraordinarily grateful to |
| 102 | +Futurewei, Inc for funding this initial work: if you want to |
| 103 | +contribute financially, please let us know. Also, if you are |
| 104 | +involved in Rust and academia, or would like to be, we would |
| 105 | +love to have your help. Please visit us at |
| 106 | +<a href="https://rust-edu.org/">https://rust-edu.org</a> or reach out |
| 107 | +by email at |
