THOSE WHO RAN IN THE RACE GOT
TO WATCH THE 10K LAST NIGHT AT
THE TRACK AND FIELD
CHAMPIONSHIPS AFTER THEY CROSSED
THE FINISH LINE.
OVER ONE MILLION JOBS IN MATH
AND EXPECTED TO GO UNFILLED
2020.
YET NINE OUT OF 10 HIGH SCHOOLS
DO NOT OF FOR COMPUTER
SCIENCE
CLASSES.
A UNIQUE CAN'T GET KIDS READY.
MEET SASHA.
I LIKE PLANNING MY LIFE.
I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THE
ONLY TWO COLLEGE GRADUATES WHO
GOT A JOB RIGHT AFTER COLLEGE
WHERE COMPUTER SCIENTISTS.
AND I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE A
VERY INTERESTING JOB.
WHAT IS A BRIGHT YOUNG MINDED
TO?
I CREATED A GAME, I GO
--
IT GOES AROUND.
SASHA IS LEARNING HOW TO
DESIGN VIDEOGAMES, COMPUTER
PROGRAMS, AND ENGINEER ROBOTS AT
THE TECH CAMP OUT SACRAMENTO
STATE UNIVERSITY.
WE BUILD IT, WE USE
THE
COMPUTER AND WE PUT IN THERE.
IT LETS THEM CREATE ANYTHING
THEY CAN.
CODING HERE, YOU HAVE A BLANK
SCREEN.
OVER ONE MILLION
JOBS
EXPECTED TO GO UNFILLED BY 2020,
YET MOST HIGH SCHOOLS DO NOT
OFFER COMPUTER SCIENCE CLASSES.
THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO
GET KIDS TO THINK THIS MIGHT BE
A GOOD THING FOR ME TO LEARN
GOING INTO COLLEGE SO THAT THEY
HAVE THE BASIS WHEN THEY GO IN
AND SAYING I ACTUALLY LIKED THIS
AD MIGHT WANT TO DO IT IN THE
FUTURE.
I WANT TO BECOME A COMPUTER
SCIENTIST OR A CIA AGENT.
CIA AGENT, SOMETHING TELLS ME
SHE WILL DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS.
THE CANS ARE BEING HELD AT
UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY,
INCLUDING STANFORD, YELL, AND
CAL.
IT WAS SO AMAZING TO
ME THESE
YOUNG MINDS, A LOT OF THEM WERE
SAYING WHAT THEY LOVE IS THEY
GET TO WORK INDEPENDENTLY AND
THEY DO NOT NEED TO ASK MANY
QUESTIONS.
BUT IF THEY DO, PEOPLE ARE THERE
TO HELP THEM.
