Computer Science is widely confused with Computer Literacy or CTE vocational courses (the use of computers), when it should be thought of as a sister . Using Dorothy, an enhanced . version of the Alice 2.0 source . code, and a Scribbler robot, it is our aim to increase interest in computer science.. The purpose behind developing such a tool as Dorothy is to be able to educate middle school and high school students in the basics of computer science and to pique their interest such that they might be more likely to choose computer science for a career.. Codecraft Computer Programming. SECME Regional Competition. Why? JOBS!. Computing makes up 2/3 of projected new jobs in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).. Computing occupations are among the highest-paying jobs for new graduates. Yet fewer than 3% of college students graduate with a degree in computer science, and only 8% of STEM graduates are in computer science.. Pilot Program – So Far. Presenters. Kevin Clevenger.

Workers with computer science skills are in high demand by employers, and not just for high-tech jobs like computer programmers and software engineers. Nearly 2/3 of jobs where computer science skills are valued are not in the technology industry. Unfortunately, it is estimated that by 2020 there will be a “skills gap” of one million workers who do not have the computer science skills needed for today’ jobs. .
