Students Work on the Hour of Code
We are excited to visit classrooms and work on coding!
We will be visiting classrooms in every building this month to do an introduction to coding at all levels in alignment with the international Hour of Code! Look out for emails about this from the tech department!
WHY SHOULD WE PARTICIPATE?
Coding is and will continue to be a high paying and consistently employable job in the future.
In the next ten years, 1 MILLION computer science jobs may go unfilled in the U.S. Those jobs will be filled by outsourcing overseas.
Programming for mobile devices continues to skyrocket as 10 devices per second are activated. At the present time, Apple alone has sold 800 million mobile devices.
The app development economy around Apple only app development is projected to rise 30% over the next few years, twice that of other occupations.
627 thousand jobs have that have been created over the past 10 years are attributable to the mobile device development. This does not included web based development.
Coding is fun and promotes an interest in math, science, and technology.
Students who have an affinity to coding and the thinking processes around it are frequently some who aren’t your best students
- Coding develops problem solving and critical thinking skills
