Careers with Code

This website provides educators with tools that can help students explore what they might be able to do with code. Careers with Code states, "We show how computer science can help young people create a dream career in any field, including health, sports, business, fashion, virtual reality and other exciting industries." The website hosts three main categories:

• What can I do with Code?
• How can I help others?
• Order the mag (free online viewing)

The 'Watch & Listen' tab contains career videos that are under two minutes and are appropriate for ANY age student. They are real people, doing real work, sharing their personal and professional lives. Videos from employees of Google, Code for America, Pixar, and NASA can be seen. They also have two 1/2 hour podcasts that are geared for 6-12th grade students.

The 'Educators' tab will take you to two Free downloadable Educator Resource files that contain activities on computational thinking, as well as computer science and social change. These resource books are meant to be used with the "Careers with Code" magazine. I conducted a readability test on Issue 2 2017/2018 edition and the Flesh-Kincaide Grade Level was 9.4. For those using F&P, that would equate to a level Z. The magazine is free to read online and is available to order in print.

GOLDEN NUGGET  = 'Get started tab'

This tab has a variety of short articles about CS+X. When you see CS+X this means Computer Science + any other subject area. They have articles about CS+Art, Social Goods, Sports, Sustainability, and Business. They even have a survey that asks: Which movie robot are you? 

Not sure what you will get...but it was determined that I was Wall-E.
