Erik Weissman, computer science teacher at the Academy at Palumbo, a magnet school in South Philly, thinks that the industry should ask these students themselves.
Weissman brought in his past and current students for a panel about their experiences studying computer science at CS4Philly’s Computer Science Education Week Forum on Wednesday night. The event was one of many marking National Computer Science Week last week, including a kickoff event hosted by the School District of Philadelphia on Monday, as it encouraged all schools in the district to participate in hour of code.
