Offer to tutor Comp. Sci./Soft. Eng. at your local
Univ.  While helping with whatever topic, look for
opportunities to gently raise awareness.

Some guidelines:

1. Don't be a jerk or language bigot.

2. DO help the student with the _actual_ topic
    of their class.  When tempted to say,
    "A better way is to just do it in Ada,"
    it's time to remember guideline #1

:-)

An optimist says the glass is half full.

An engineer says somebody made the glass
        twice as big as it needed to be.
