Computer Science, often referred to as CS, is one of the fastest growing career paths that spans every industry and is loaded with exciting and lucrative job opportunities. Computer Science is almost becoming an educational buzzword. We know it is important to teach and provide students opportunities to explore it, but can we really define CS and why it is so important for all students to experience it?
We will explore these questions and many others in our Open Doors to CS4ALL group next year as we aim to demystify CS. As a group we will dig in to understand what we mean when we say CS, explore the almost endless resources at our disposal, and imagine what CS education looks like in your classroom.
