  1. Computer Science at Warren HillsCS@WH Preparing for STEM Careers

  2. CS@WH The objective of CS@WH is to help improve student’s problem solving, logical thinking and computational thinking skills. These abilities are essential in all STEM careers. Computational thinking is the ability to use digital technology to solve tomorrow’s problems. STEM is Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics

  3. Why take CS@WH?

  4. Degrees and Jobs

  5. By the Numbers: Future Workforce(2010-2020 projections) • Expected Growth in jobs is very high in CS/IT and Engineering • CS/IT (us dept of labor: 15-1100) • 2010 actual: 3,426,000 • 2020 projected: 4,184,700 (22% increase) • Engineers (us dept of labor: 17-2000) • 2010 actual: 1,519,000 • 2020 projected: 1,679,400 (11% increase)
