This is a no brainer. I think high schools should have coding classes.
BOISE, IDAHO (PRWEB) SEPTEMBER 17, 2015
PCS Edventures!, a leader in K-12 STEM education and experts in hands-on educational products for classroom, after-school and home learning, has announced that registration is now open for the educational webinar - Code Your Future: Why Programming is an Essential Part of STEM Education. The program will take place on Wednesday, October 14 at 1 PM EST and is made available on a first come, first serve basis with limited space for 1,000 attendees.
PCS Edventures alumni, Randy Jamison, now owner and founder of world-class interactive game development company for kids Curious Media, together with Robert Grover, Co-CEO of PCS Edventures, will discuss key skills coders should have and what it takes to be successful in the programming industry. The webinar will also address the conversation surrounding the nationwide movement of encouraging more computer science and coding classes in classrooms.
“There is a growing movement nationwide that recognizes the gap in STEM education and this educational webinar will provide testimony of how early computer programming training can impact a child’s future,” said Grover. “Computer science and coding remain central to defining the future careers of our children and we want to gain more support and participation from parents and educators to achieve results that will engage students in computer science topics at an early age.”
According to code.org, a non-profit dedicated to expanding access to computer science, and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color, it is estimated that there will be a need for 1.4 million jobs in programming and computer science by 2020. The current pipeline of students can address only 400,000 of those positions and there remains an immense need for more computer science skills in the labor force.
