Do you work in the Computer Science/Engineering field and recognize the value of these skills in students future?
We are reaching out to our community to see if there are parents/family members or others who may be interested in recording a 5 minute video we can share with our students grades K-5, 6-8, 9-12 to show the value of Coding Skills or Computer Science/ Engineering in real world applications.
Some potential areas include software, programming, hardware, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning,engineering/devices.
Does this sound interesting? If so, please complete this form and provide the info requested. Please use these questions as prompts for your video (please also feel free to share links to demonstrations or other related media when you email the video):
Please consider the age range which you feel you can best target your video for when creating video/answering questions. If you have a specific class or group to share with please let me know in the email.
1. What is your name and current/past roles related to Computer Science or other related discipline?
2. What types of work do you do?
3. What types of skills and education/experience was important to your career learning?
4. What should students know about careers in Computer Science or Technology?
5. What are some common questions you receive about your job? What are the answers.
6. What should students consider when thinking about the role of Computers/Technology in their future?
Please send/share your videos to ddowns@nrpsk12.org by Monday December 7th.
We would share these videos on our "Hour Of Code" website with the students and our educational community and provide them resources to practice coding and computer science skills as part of the National "Hour Of Code" during the week of December 7th-11th.
