Computer Science Gives Students Vital 21st Century Skills
These skills strengthen local community, national innovation, and
opportunities for youth. Computer Science - not computer literacy -
underlies most innovation today, from biotechnology to cinematography to
national security. Yet the majority of U.S. schools require only that
students use computers. Seldom do schools prepare students to innovate and
create the new technologies that drive local and national economies. This
ability to innovate with technology is also important for students' future
success and ability to make a difference in a global society.

Computer Science Means Rewarding Careers
Jobs are plentiful, interesting, and flexible.
.
Computer Science: More Than Just Using Technology

Provides 21st century skills necessary
for innovation and translates to high-paying, in-demand jobs.
Differs from computer literacy.
Can make curriculum more relevant for students.
