Who We Are

This pathway aims to build linkages to Information Technology occupations for entry level, technical, and professional careers related to the design, development, software, and systems integration services. Careers in Programming and Software Development involve the design, development, implementation, and maintenance of computer systems and software, requiring knowledge of computer operating systems, programming languages and software development. People with expertise in programming and software development work with cutting-edge technologies to develop tomorrow's products for use by businesses and consumers. The Programming and Software Development pathway responds to community needs and Kansas' IT needs and prepares students to enter the workforce and to participate as leaders, innovators, and managers in a global economy.

Who We Are

We apply the values of Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, and Ethics in Everything, to the pursuit of computer science knowledge and skills, in preparation for higher education and career paths in computing. In the 21^st Century, where computer science has an effect on almost every aspect of how people live and work, the Computer Science Academy empowers high school students to become creators, not just consumers, of technology. Students work together to engage in compelling, real-world problem-solving opportunities designed to develop computation thinking skills instead of just learning “how to code”. Students become better thinkers and communicators, with knowledge and skills they will use in their future regardless of their post-secondary and career path choices.
