Computer Science
Every company wants a website, social media page, or online shopping portal to reach customers. To cater to these growing needs, people with the skills and expertise are in exceptional demand. Of all the STEM job openings in the US for the foreseeable future, nearly three out of four new job openings and three out of five total job openings are going to be in computing and related professions. PLTW Computer Science empowers students in grades 9-12 to become creators, instead of merely consumers, of the technology all around them. Whether building apps to meet client needs or exploring cyber security, PLTW Computer Science engages students in interdisciplinary activities that not only build knowledge and skills in computer science, but also empower students to develop essential skills such as problem solving, critical and creative thinking, communication, collaboration, and perseverance.
