Website called code improves STEM learning

What is Code.org?

Code.org is a new initiative started by entrepreneurs Ali and Hadi Partovi. Their goal is to get U.S. schools to adopt more computer-science programs into their curriculum. Why? Because of the huge demand for programmers in the coming years. In fact, more than 1.4 million programming jobs (more jobs than they are students currently taking computer science courses in the U.S.) will be available in the next 7 years:

“The realization is not enough people have these skills,” said Mark Zuckerburg, the founder of Facebook, who was in grade school when he started programming. “Whether you want to make a lot of money or just want to change the world, computer programming is an incredibly empowering skill to learn.”

Where to Learn How to Code

DMA proudly boasts many different programming camps. Everything from C++ to advanced Java™ programming is taught at DMA’s summer tech camps. DMA’s programming camps are led by industry insiders who have worked in computing and have practical insights to share with students.

STEM learning (based on Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) is the educational foundation of Digital Media Academy. We believe it’s not only important to expose kids and teens to technology, it’s our mission. And by doing so, student campers at DMA get a world-class camp experience that can be life changing in many ways.
