Computer Science Education Week 2024

Understanding Computer Science

Computer science is a dynamic field that bridges the gap between technology and human interaction. It encompasses digital literacy, which involves the ability to effectively navigate and communicate in a digital world; coding, the process of writing instructions that a computer can execute; and computational thinking, a problem-solving process that involves decomposing problems, recognizing patterns, and designing algorithms. Together, these components empower individuals to understand and create technology rather than just consume it.

Celebrating Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek)

Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek), celebrated annually, is a call to action for educators and students to explore the world of computer science. It’s an opportunity to engage students in coding, problem-solving, and creativity through activities and lessons that highlight the importance of technology in our everyday lives. It provides a platform to introduce or expand upon computer science concepts in the classroom, fostering an environment of innovation and curiosity. This year, Computer Science Week is celebrated from December 9th to December 15th, 2024.

At CDSBEO, we value the importance of computer science education throughout the year. By integrating technology into everyday learning, we help students develop skills that will empower them to navigate and thrive in a technology-driven world.
