Career Discovery – Computer Science and Robotics
In today’s rapidly evolving digital world, equipping our students with computational thinking and technical skills is not just an option—it’s a necessity. Our programs are designed to inspire elementary students to become not just consumers of technology but creators and innovators shaping the 21st century.
This year we’ve brought coding to life during Hour of Code in over 90 elementary classrooms at 35 schools. And with 50 teachers already signed up for specialized training with Boot-up PD, we are working to integrate computer science across our curricula, building educator capacity in computational thinking.
Why Computer Science Matters:
- Early Exposure: Research shows that children form career interests by age 10. Introducing computer science at the elementary level sets a foundation for success in any future career path.
- Tech Hub Advantage: Living in a tech hub like Seattle offers our students unparalleled opportunities. With the majority of high-paying, future jobs requiring tech skills, our mission is to prepare students to thrive in this city and in this economy.
- Empowerment Through Innovation: We aim for every student to see themselves as capable creators and innovators, ready to tackle challenges and engage with digital technology confidently.
Get Involved:
- Parents: Discover the computer science programs at your child’s school. If you see a gap, let’s talk. Together, we can bring innovative education to every classroom.
- PTAs: Make computer science a priority. Your support can transform access and quality of tech education, preparing our students for a digital future.
- Corporate Partners: Join us in shaping the next generation of tech leaders. From volunteering in our robotics programs to providing critical funding, your partnership is key to our success.
