Where have all the computer science graduates gone?\u00a0 That’s the question that Microsoft is not only asking, but they are taking action to improve those numbers.\u00a0 According to the Association for Computing Machinery, there are an estimated 150,000 computer science jobs opening up every year for the foreseeable future.\u00a0 Despite all of these job openings, only 40,000 students graduated in 2010 with Computer Science degrees.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has taken action.\u00a0 The computing behemoth currently sends about 100 engineers to high schools to teach computer science.\u00a0 It all began in 2009 when Kevin Wang, an engineer at Microsoft, started volunteering as a computer science teacher at a Seattle high school.\u00a0 The executives at Microsoft caught wind of Kevin’s efforts and decided to turn it into a full blown program called TEALS – Technology Education and Literacy in Schools<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The TEALS program is currently in 22 schools in the Seattle area.\u00a0 Although most of the teachers are Microsoft employees, other tech companies, including Google, have joined the program.\u00a0 With their powers combined, they are really making a difference!!<\/p>\n

Peace & Love,<\/p>\n
