The global COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the way we live, learn, and teach - impacting both "how we learn" and "what we learn." Software system resilience has emerged as a critical concept, a departure from historical system objectives obsessed with high performance. In practice, there are many situations when development focused on efficiency, creates a system that is not very resilient. Fortunately, some technology companies have prioritized stability and availability over efficiency in order to deliver to customers a more consistent experience. Governments also value resilience to reliably serve their communities in the face of crises like cyber hacking and COVID-19. System resilience is a topic often neglected in computer science curricula. This paper reports on a recent virtual ACM SPLASH-E Education Symposium panel session held in November 2020 that discussed resilience, efficiency, and the impact of COVID-19 on computer science education. The panel featured Steven Fraser (panel impresario) and panelists Rebecca Mercuri, Landon Noll, Ales Plsek, and Moshe Vardi.

Due to the importance of spreading computer science education among young people, we present in this paper our work in preparing and organizing a computer science competition for children from 8 to 15 years old, named Kids programming marathon, the marathon goes in three phases and targets all kids in the country, tasks of the marathon are divided into three different types, each type is intended to support different skills for children, we show our motivation and goals of the marathon, we present the process of the marathon in details and show the materials of the competition, how it was chosen and how it is used in the tasks, we show some statistics, and finally discuss the impact of the marathon on the society, and our view for the future of this competition.
