Meet us
Today, it is easier to think about a world with technology. Our mornings start with a digital alarm clock, followed by making software-controlled phone calls and staying connected to the internet through our phones or computers. We rely on GPS for navigation, turn to online shopping, enjoy movies on our tablets, and use machines programmed to manufacture our cars, clothing, and food. Technology has become an integral part of our daily lives.
These technologies, which play a crucial role in modern life, have been created by developers. As such, individuals need to have a deeper understanding of how they work to secure future job opportunities and to keep up with the advancements in their education. With the increasing use of technology in the classroom, children must be familiar with its operation.
The Adelaide Robotics and Computer Science Academy (ARCSA) was established in 2017 to prepare children for their future careers. This is not a trend but a necessity for Australia to have competent specialists in the future. If we invest in our children’s education, our country may stay caught up and become solely a consumer and importer rather than a creative nation.
Despite its reputation as being difficult, coding actually requires a lot of troubleshooting and problem-solving. This process, known as debugging in the coding world, involves identifying and fixing errors in the code during software or hardware development. Debugging is accomplished by carefully reviewing the written program through a debugging tool or component and using clues provided by the device to find potential solutions.
Programmers can use search engines to find existing coding examples or documentation that may provide a solution to the error. They can also look to forums for coding snippets that can be combined with their code to resolve the issue.
By learning this technique, children are developing skills in IT and honing their problem-solving abilities, which can be applied to various aspects of their lives, both professionally and personally. This process encourages children to develop new, creative ways of thinking and problem-solving, which can be valuable in many fields.
According to Code.org, the demand for computer-oriented jobs in the United States is four times higher than any other profession. There are currently 530,472 computing positions available, including software applications developer, computer systems analyst, web developer, computer programmer, and computer systems engineer.
The IT industry’s growth is outpacing individuals’ education to fill these jobs. Despite efforts to incorporate computer science into the education system, there still needs to be more trained teachers to teach these subjects. The American Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that only 400,000 students will graduate with a computer science degree, while the demand for jobs in the field will reach 1.4 million. This highlights the need for continued investment in computer science education to ensure that the next generation is equipped with the skills necessary to meet the demands of the rapidly growing IT industry.
