Computer Programming Symposium Announced
Here's a great field trip opportunity for local teachers and students. A free Computer Programming Symposium has been set for Monday, June 4 at Seattle's Intiman Theater. Computers (including smart phones) are everywhere around us: at home, at work, on desks, in cars, in pockets. Yet most people know little about how they work or how to program them. The software industry is growing faster than ever before, with thousands of new startups creating a million jobs this decade, but our schools graduate computer programmers at a slower pace than before. Although programming isn’t a skill that’s required to graduate from school, it’s the most sought-after skill for some of the highest-paying jobs in the market. And it’s actually pretty easy and fun once you’re introduced to it! This symposium will provide classes an introduction to how computers and the internet work, and what it’s like to write computer programs. Learn More
