Senate recognizes Computer Science Education Week; Delaware entrepreneur urges AI literacy
Summary
The Senate adopted a concurrent resolution designating Computer Science Education Week and heard remarks from Malcolm Coley of ReadyPROMT, who urged AI literacy in schools and announced an HBCU AI summit at Delaware State University.
The Senate voted to concur with a House resolution designating the week of December 2025 as Computer Science Education Week in Delaware and recognized a guest invited to speak on the topic.
Senator Brown, speaking in support of the measure, described the importance of computer science education for workforce development and noted that Delaware has a higher density of IT professionals than the national average.
Under personal privilege, Malcolm Coley — introduced as the founder of ReadyPROMT — addressed the chamber. Coley urged legislators to treat AI literacy as a core educational priority, saying that AI now underpins multiple local industries and calling it "the most critical infrastructure of our time." He cited a prior AI summit held last July with more than 310 attendees and said organizers secured about $20,000 in sponsorships. Coley invited senators to an HBCU AI Summit and Innovation Venture at Delaware State University planned for April 16.
The Senate recorded a roll-call vote of 21 yes to pass the concurrent resolution on Computer Science Education Week.
