STEM JOB OPENINGS THROUGH 2022

Imagine: No K-8 life science No universal 9-12 life science Only one life science elective in high school How many students would be interested in biology? Medicine? WHY THE DISCREPANCY?

WE NEED COMPUTER SCIENCE IN K-12 AP Exam Takers. Data from research.collegeboard.com Number of Students Taking AP Exam ( ) Computer Science

 Effective Use and Troubleshooting: Using best practices with a computer and knowing how to fix any issues are a must in the modern world.  Safety: Understanding digital footprint and online safety is a necessity.  Understanding artifacts: Learning how to utilize digital artifacts for research and collaboration is needed in both academic and professional sectors. PREPARATION FOR DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP

Engaging fundamentals at early, developmentally appropriate ages allows rich content in high school. What if high school mathematics had to begin with lessons on place value and arithmetic? Most coders began before high school. PROVIDE A FOUNDATION

 Poor demographics in CS today.  Low enrollment in high school, post secondary, AP exams, and the CS labor poor.  Need to teach CS in K12.  Students identify interests early.  Elective approach is unacceptable. ENSURE ACCESS * Margolis, Jane. Stuck in the Shallow End. MIT Press
