Why Every Classroom Should Participate in CS Education Week…Especially Yours!

You may already know that Computer Science Education Week happens every year during the second week of December, but you may not have known that the movement is geared toward everyone. It’s not just for STEM classrooms.

Of course Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math classes should be introducing some level of computer science to students, but kids will enjoy it equally when it’s introduced through art, physical education, or music!

Breaking Down the Tech Barrier

First off, let’s tackle the elephant in the room—computer science sounds intimidating. It feels like a high shelf that can’t be reached without a step stool. But experts in educational technology have been working tirelessly to lower that shelf, making CS not only accessible but enjoyable for everyone. They’ve chopped intimidating concepts into bite-sized, fun activities that seamlessly integrate into any subject. Yes, even yours!

It’s All Fun and Games Until…

…Actually, it pretty much is all fun and games!

Teaching CS can be as enjoyable as learning it.

With resources like Microsoft MakeCode Arcade tutorials for younger students and Python music theory tutorials for high schoolers, you can introduce computer science concepts without the students even realizing they’re learning one of the most valuable skills of their generation.

CS for Creativity

One of the biggest misconceptions is that computer science is about coding in a dark room alone. On the contrary! CS is about solving problems creatively as a team—much like performing a piece of music or planting a community garden. During CS Education Week, students can experience firsthand how coding allows them to express themselves. They can try creating a simple animation, designing a game of their own, or even simulating music compositions.

Why Should Artists, Athletes, and Musicians Care About CS?

Today’s artists use digital tools to create masterpieces that were unimaginable a few decades ago. Athletes utilize technology to analyze performance and enhance training methods. Musicians aren’t just strumming guitars—they’re mastering software to produce their tracks and reach audiences globally. Understanding the basics of computer science opens up a world of possibilities to innovate and excel in these fields.

It’s challenging to lure students into a CS classroom unless they feel like they belong. But when we start introducing CS and programming at a young age by bringing bite-sized chunks to Social Studies, Dance, and Photography class, we help students understand that the craft belongs to them, no matter who they are, and we increase the chance that they’ll participate in higher level classes later on. That has the potential to change the face of the tech industry as a whole, and that will help improve the products offered to the public as they are developed with more diversity in the room.

Equity and Justice in Learning CS

On the most serious of notes: Access to computer science education is becoming one of the largest equity and justice issues in education. Why? Because the gap between those who understand CS and those who don’t is widening. Those equipped with a basic understanding of CS will navigate the future job market more effectively, innovate more easily within their chosen fields, and problem-solve at a higher level. Bringing CS into every classroom means breaking down barriers and ensuring that every student, regardless of their primary interest or background, has the tools to succeed.

Summing Up

Whether you teach art, physical education, music, or STEM subjects, CS Education Week is a golden opportunity for your students.

It’s about making computer science less daunting and more enticing as a tool that complements and enhances all areas of learning. Let’s make it a week of discovery, creativity, and inclusivity. Trust me, your students will thank you for it—and you might just have a little fun along the way! After all, isn’t education at its best when it’s enjoyable for both the teacher and the student?
