Every student should have the opportunity to learn computer science. Basic programming activities help nurture creativity and problem solving skills. By starting early, students will have a foundation for success in any future career path.
Computer programming jobs are growing 3 times faster than students entering the field. Yet fewer schools teach computer science than 10 years ago. 90% of K-12 schools in the United States don’t even teach it. Westwood High School believes in the value of computer science education and is part of the 10% that does offer courses in computer science.
In conjunction with Computer Science Education Week, Westwood High School participated in Hour of Code activities on Monday, December 9, 2013.
