Northeast Florida Regional STEM2 Hub
Northeast Florida Regional STEM2 Hub 21 st Century Workforce Development Program 2020 – 2021 Outcomes
Accountability: Advocacy turned to state level action as computer science standards were enforced through legislation requiring all secondary schools to provide access to computer science instruction. Adoption: While exposure and afterschool activation made great strides forward, there was a need to assure equitable access in the school day. The state course catalog was updated to include courses aligned with the need for Computer Science Education to become available for all learners in an elementary setting. The courses, Introduction to Computer Science I and II were adopted by the state board of education. Introduction to Computer Science I – A State Level Overview In elementary schools across the state, Introduction to Computer Science I is has been made available. There are approximately 1.2 million elementary school students in the state of Florida. Only 214,000 students, or 17% percent of elementary school students are presently enrolled in this course. Introduction to Computer Science
– Northeast Florida Overview Of the total enrollment in the 67 Florida School districts, 78,734 students (37% of the 20%) who are enrolled in the course go to school in the Northeast Florida STEM2 Hub Region. These students are our emerging talent pipeline. With our continued focus and support, we can assure there are pathways available leading all learner to be aware of and prepared for the high-wage, high-demand careers for the future of work! Further, in NEFL, St. Johns County SD is already offering Introduction to Computer Science 2 with nearly 1,000 students enrolled.
