A computer in the classroom does not guarantee that students are learning Computer Science. It is not learning how to type or use a mouse, learning to use word processing, spreadsheet or presentation software, or even learning how to build and repair computers.
Our Visionis to help all understand that computer science develops life-long problem solving skills and critical thinking strategies that can be applied to any personal, environmental, community, career, or social challenge. These critical skills will improve sustainability and global development in all aspects of human existence.
We define Computer Science as the study of computer algorithms, processes, designs, applications, and the technological impact on society. It is a tool that helps solve a problem and a skill that teaches students how to create and think critically.
Our Mission is to ensure that every student in every grade level has the opportunity to learn the principles of Computer Science.
CS IS FOR EVERYONE
“It’s not about being a girl or being a boy, it’s about being talented. Computer Science needs more talented people who are not aftraid of being creative and making the world a better place.”
CS IS CHANGING EVERYTHING
“Whether you want to become a racecar driver, play baseball, or build a house, all of these things have been turned upside-down by software…..The merging of art and technology is getting more and more significant as computers and software become such an integral part of our lives day to day.”
CS IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR FUTURE
“Whether you’re a young man or a young woman, whether you live in a city or a rural area, computers are going to be a big part of your future. If you’re willing to work and study hard, that future is yours to shape”
Our mission is to ensure that every student in every grade level has the opportunity to learn the principles of Computer Science.
