2026 CSTA PK12 COMPUTER SCIENCE STANDARDS

One insight I gained is how naturally career exploration can be woven into computer science instruction. One action I plan to take is helping students connect their personal interests to careers that use computing. How are you helping students discover technology careers they may not already know about?

Latoya,

I like that you asked a question in your post. Makes it easy to respond, but I never thought of doing that. THANKS!

I attended a cybersecurity conference this year and there was SO MUCH I learned about. I plan to introduce my kiddos to that part of CS-there are so many jobs there that one might not expect and they really cover the spectrum of careers too. Additionally, I love using Amazon Future Engineers Career Tours...they are much better than I had expected and did really make an impression with some of my students. I had a student that is a sports fanatic to his core. He was impressed to see how CS is being used in Sports with the "Prime Video Sports" tour.
