If you are reading this blog (or any blog for that matter) you are probably familiar with the stats. For a refresher....
- There will be one million more computing jobs than students over the next 10 years (adding up to $500 billion in salaries).
- More than 50 percent of all projected math and science occupations are in computing occupations.
- Computing occupations are among the highest-paying jobs for new graduates. Yet fewer than 3% of college students graduate with a degree in computer science.
- In 25 states, computer science classes don’t count toward math or science high school graduation requirements.
An

- Is coding as important as science, math, english?
- Is coding a way to reach a group of disengaged students?
- What is your experience with using code.org or codeacademy?
