According to Code.org, the U.S. will have 1 million more computer science jobs than students with computer science degrees by 2020. Careers in these fields are increasing at twice the national average, and in some states computing jobs are growing at over four times the average. Yet, many high schools around the country do not require computer science as a requirement for math or science.

Despite the increasing demand for technology workers, finding qualified candidates has been continuously difficult. One cause may be due to misconceptions about the field. Alberto Segre, head of the University of Iowa Computer Science Department, recently told The Daily Iowan that “Computational thinking is normally understood as thinking like a computer scientists, but it’s more than that…It’s a shame for undergraduates and graduated today without an exposure of computational thinking…there hasn’t been a field that hasn’t been used by computation.”
