Will your kids shape the future, or just be observers?
We often get asked what STEAM discipline is important and while all of them are useful, new research shows that Computer Science has a disproportionately larger impact in helping kids in school, university and in their lives. You may not be aware of this but new research shows:
- Computer programming improves students’ creativity and reasoning skills, improves their performance in math, reading, and science.
- Students who learn CS have a 17% higher likelihood of enrolling in university (34% for AP CS students)
- Students who studied computer science not only outperformed in computer-programming, they also outperformed in generic problem-solving challenges involving executive/planning skills
- New research shows that language skills are far more important than math/numeracy skills in predicting a student’s performance at learning programming. Generic problem-solving and learning aptitude are even more relevant than language or math skills combined!
Still don't believe? Stanford university identifies CS as the pathway to careers in Government, Law and the Corporate Sector.
The benefits of learning CS extends to many different careers and leads to some of the highest paying occupations, earning 40% more than average university graduates. Computing occupations are now the fastest-growing, and largest segment of all professions, spanning all industries.
