To continue our month long celebration of STEM we have curated a list of 35 of the best computer science resources for students and schools. You’ll want to learn more about these forward-thinking products and organizations.
Rethinking STEM Preparation from Educator to Student
By: K. Lauth et al. To keep pace with economic demands and industry needs, we should rethink STEM and computer science (CS) preparation now.
Denver’s CUBE: Reimagining the High School Experience
Opening in August of 2019, the Cube School is reimagining education through encouraging students to pursue their passions and providing them with opportunities to work on meaningful, real-world projects.
Blending Engineering, Entrepreneurial Mindset, and an Appreciation for the Variety of the Human Condition
The rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning is an opportunity to show up at the formation of a new era and ensure equity and empowerment for all. Here’s a look at how Dr. Amon Millner and his team at Olin College are doing just that.
Smart List: 22 Coding and Computer Science Resources
Fifty-four percent of students say they enjoy programming courses “a lot," but few get to spend much time on it in school. Here are some resources to help.
Computer Science and the Hour of Code
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there will be 1.4 million computing jobs but only 400,000 computer-science graduates with the skills to fill them. Looking toward a future of work that includes automation, artificial intelligence and programming, there is no better time to introduce coding to your students.
ISTE Helps Prepare All Educators to Teach Computer Science
By: Janice Mak. How can we expand access to computer science education to all students? First, we have to develop and equip all teachers to bring CS and computational skills to their students.
Our Future Coders are in Our K-12 Classrooms Today
