Why Is Computer Science Important?

Computer science is one of the few policy issues that can address both foundational education needs and workforce development demands for a state’s future workforce. CS is foundational in the current technological age. Every 21st century student should have the opportunity to learn about the technology that touches every area of their life as well as being one of the fastest growing and highest paying career paths.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of resources within most schools, students are not provided access to explore the world of CS. This limits student participation in CS and prevents the equipping of this critical foundational knowledge for our future workforce.

Learning computer science (CS) matters. The solutions of tomorrow will involve technology in some way, making CS important to every industry.

Computer science gives young people opportunities to build problem-solving, creativity, and technology skills. vCoder's mission is to make computer science education more accessible through engaging learning experiences.

The technology industry is growing faster than ever.

We welcome students, educators, volunteers, and supporters who want to help broaden access to computer science learning.
