As technology reshapes nearly every industry, high school coding and computer science classes are becoming essential for students' college and career success. Jobs in computer and information technology are projected to grow nearly 15% from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Yet only 6.4% of high school students were enrolled in foundational computer science courses in the last year.
By integrating coding classes for high schoolers into the curriculum, schools can bridge this gap and equip students with the digital literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills crucial for success in today’s workforce. Read our article about the
