Teaching Computer Science To High School Students On The Way To Work

Oh no, this kind of false drivel:

"The U.S. is facing a shortage of CS graduates." I guess if you're going to lie, go for the really big lie.

Also a glance at the website implies they don't teach CS but more IT, how to code. Not that there's anything wrong with that totally different somewhat related topic. But don't bake cookies and call it your chemistry class.

Mixed feelings here. They're doing something that is inherently very good for the kids, but they're misnaming the program and the reasoning is based on outright lies. The good should outweigh the bad on average...

As a student, hearing more voices and perspectives, some that will immediately resonate, is invaluable.

Teachers meanwhile supplement their knowledge with SMEs from various domains.

The SMEs add interactions that they don't get in their day to day, also gaining access to new perspectives.

Administrators improve their curriculum, environment and experience without huge budget changes.

Win, win, win, win?
