CS for everyone. This presentation provides ppl an introduction to the importance of Computer Science. As we learned from the Pandemic, technology is the tool that can help humanity during its darkest hours. In this book, we will reflect on the importance that tech plays and why future generations need to learn coding.

1. Speakers Name
Computer Science is for everyone!

2. Careers in science, technology, engineering and
math (STEM) and computer science (CS) are critical
in shaping the world we live in and solving some of
its biggest challenges.
The gender gap in STEM and (CS) fields is wide and
longstanding. We need to be thoughtful about the
way these subjects are taught. So we are bringing
CS to everyone.
Our school recognizes the importance of offering
Computer Science courses. Our goal is to make
sure we are encouraging everyone to sign up!
Introduction

3. “A career in CS is a chance to build
things. If you can dream it, CS can help
you do it!”
~Alice Steinglass, President, Code.org
Computer science, or “CS,” is a broad large subject. It
blends all the “STEM” subjects of science, technology,
engineering and math, and also includes design.
By increasing access to CS for all youth as early as
possible, we can help them prepare for the jobs of
today and tomorrow.

5. Computer science is for everyone
Knowledge and skills
for success in careers
across all sectors
Opens doors to, and
equalizes, opportunity
for all
Teaches important
skills, such as:
Creativity
Problem solving
Critical and flexible thinking
Coordinating with others
Essential literacy for
today’s world
Critical understanding
for citizenship, ethics,
and social good

6.  Schools across the country and around the
world are working to increase access to
quality CS education.
 While CS classes and opportunities are
expanding, only a fraction of girls and
women are likely to pursue STEM degrees
and careers.
Increase gender diversity in CS
Education

7.  The good news is that there are steps
we can all take to help close the
gender gap in STEM and CS.
 We need to be more mindful on how
we engage girls in CS.
 Break the common misperception that
CS is boring and doesn’t relate to the
world at large.

9. Provide girls and young women with positive role
models.
Girls and young women have a hard time picturing
themselves in STEM roles. They need more exposure
to STEM jobs, female role models, and career
awareness and planning.

12. Poppy Crum, a chief scientist at Dolby Laboratories –
responsible for integrating neuroscience and sensory
perception into algorithm design, technological
development and technology strategy.
Works on extremely cool projects including a
biosensor experiment to prove HDR, surround sound,
or a certain color palette, will elicit an emotional
response, then the creative content (like filmmakers)
makers are more likely to want to use Dolby tools.

13. We found that girls who participate in STEM
clubs and activities outside of school are more
likely to say they will pursue STEM subjects later
in their education.
Provide hands-on experiences

14. Encouragement from teachers and parents makes a
big difference in girls’ interest in STEM—especially
when it comes from both teachers and parents.
We can’t underestimate the importance of positive
encouragement.
Provide encouragement

15. All educators and parents can foster a “growth
mindset” among their female students by tapping
into their willingness to work hard for results.
Encourage a “growth mindset”

16. Examples of career available with CS
knowledge
Computers and technology are behind some of the most interesting and
impactful jobs out there today. Studying CS can point you toward any
number of exciting careers:
 Fashion tech designer
 Mobile developer
 Medicine analyst
 Data scientist
 Music program engineer

17. Where can CS take your
student?
Computer science + student = a bright
future.
Not only does CS open the door to all sorts of
amazing careers, but it also gives you skills
that are in very high demand.
People who major in CS in college earn 40%
more than the average college graduate. 1
