This week on Let's Talk About It Tuesday's, CODE313 is bringing some new knowledge to our blog readers on the various topics of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. This weeks blog is concentrated around Computer Science, how a new approach to teaching the subject could help expand its appeal. Let's jump right in to the topic!

In this day and age, the demand for computer science skills are continuously growing but there is still a noticeable struggle in K-12 schools trying to teach this subject to new generations. Some of the main challenges that these schools are faced with are the lack of qualified computer science teachers, lack of funds for the schools to use, and trying to fit in a new academic feature in a curriculum that may be too crowded. But this new approach called integrated computing helps tackle some of those challenges. Integrated computing teaches computer science skills like programming and computer literacy within traditional courses like math, science, language arts, and etc.

Integrated computing grants computer science education to become part of the learning in other courses, just like how a student also uses their comprehension and reading skills in subjects other than an english class. This fairly new discovery also doesn't require teachers to be an expert in computer science at all, they can use a pre-made computer science lesson in their own class.
