Computer Science Education Week
December 7-13, 2015
Learn to Code!
Did you know that 67% of all new jobs are in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math yet only 8% of graduates in those areas major in Computer Science? A Computer Science major is likely to earn 40% more than the average college graduate right out of school! The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that there be over 1 million unfilled computer jobs by the year 2022! We are inviting all TEACHERS to join in this week for at least an hour of code.
So what are you waiting for, learn to code! #HourOfCode
