A new report from the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation has highlighted the importance of computer science education in schools across the country, arguing that the subject needs to be taken from being considered an elective course to being looked at as a core science course on par with the traditional high school subjects such as chemistry and biology.
Authors Adam Nager and Robert Atkinson suggest in their report, “The Case for Improving U.S. Computer Science Education,” that computer science is an educational tool that can be used to increase critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity.
