Computer Science Catalyzes Career Connected Learning nyob rau sab hnub poob suab STEM cheeb tsam: Kev Kawm-Kev Lag Luam Kev Sib Koom Tes rau Lub Neej Yav Tom Ntej Washington

Cov lus nug muaj hnub nyoog rau cov tub ntxhais kawm hauv chav kawm lej - peb txhua tus tau hnov ​​​​nws, peb txhua tus txawm hais tias nws. "Tab sis kuv yuav ua li cas rau qhov kuv kawm?"

Cov kws qhia ntawv mus rau saum toj thiab dhau mus kom ntseeg tau tias kev kawm muaj feem cuam tshuam rau lawv cov menyuam kawm ntawv-txhua hnub. Ib pawg ntawm 20 tus kws qhia ntawv los ntawm West Sound STEM Network tau mus rau mais ntxiv kom paub seb cov tub ntxhais kawm nyob rau thaj tsam West Sound tuaj yeem siv lawv cov kev tshawb fawb, thev naus laus zis, engineering, thiab lej (STEM) cov txuj ci ntawm lub tuam txhab hauv cheeb tsam zoo li cas: MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions, Inc. Cov kws qhia ntawv no yog ib feem ntawm West Sound STEM Network ib xyoos ib zaug, 10-koog tsev kawm ntawv cohort nyob ib ncig ntawm computer science kev txawj ntse, kev ncaj ncees, thiab txuas nrog computer science pathways los ntawm kindergarten mus rau kev ua hauj lwm.

Thaum Lub Yim Hli 1, 2018, MacDonald-Miller tau tuav cov kws qhia ntawv no rau ib hnub ntawm kev kawm hnyav thiab kev koom tes los tham txog kev paub txog computer science, suav nrog kev xav, coding, thiab kev xav tsim, siv txhua hnub ntawm MacDonald-Miller. CEO Gus Simonds thiab pab pawg tau txais tos cov kws qhia ntawv nrog cov ntsiab lus ntawm kev tsim kev tswj hwm txoj haujlwm tsim nyog nyob rau hauv ntau txoj haujlwm los ntawm kev saib xyuas kev noj qab haus huv mus rau kev tiv thaiv hauv tebchaws.

MacDonald-Miller yog ib qho ntawm cov neeg ua haujlwm kho tshuab sab saum toj hauv Pacific Northwest. Lawv tsim, tsim, thiab txhim kho cov tshuab siv tshuab thiab lwm cov kev daws teeb meem hauv tsev rau qhov tsuas yog qee qhov kev tsim tsev txias tshaj plaws hauv cheeb tsam - xws li Seattle Aquarium rau King 5 mus rau Swedish Kev Pabcuam Kev Noj Qab Haus Huv mus rau Capitol Hill Sound Transit Station. Kev siv tshuab thiab kev tsim kho kom zoo yuav tsum muaj ntau yam txuj ci STEM xws li engineers los tsim cov haujlwm, hluav taws xob thiab lwm yam lag luam los txhim kho qhov tsim, computer programmers los tsim cov neeg siv khoom siv apps, thiab IT thiab cov kws tshaj lij ua haujlwm kom ua haujlwm tau zoo.

MacDonald-Miller nkag siab tias nws yog kev lag luam ntse los nqis peev lub sijhawm thiab cov peev txheej los npaj peb cov tub ntxhais kawm tiam tom ntej kom tau txais cov txuj ci uas lawv xav tau los ua Washington cov thawj coj tom ntej, cov neeg xav, thiab cov ua. Raws li CEO Gus Simmonds, "Peb yuav tsum muaj cov khoom lag luam uas tib neeg xav tau. Ib txoj hauv kev ua qhov no yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws. Peb yuav tsum muaj cov neeg zoo uas tuaj yeem siv lej thiab engineering txuj ci. " Yog vim li cas MacDonald-Miller koom tes nrog West Sound STEM Network, Western Washington University, thiab Lub Chaw Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Qhia Txog Pej Xeem (OSPI) los nthuav qhia cov kws qhia txog yam uas cov tub ntxhais kawm yuav ua nrog rau tag nrho cov kev txawj lej thiab kev tshawb fawb uas lawv kawm.

Thaum lub sij hawm ib nrab hnub mus ntsib qhov chaw, MacDonald-Miller cov thawj coj tau tuav lub rooj sib tham los tham txog yuav ua li cas siv thev naus laus zis hauv Kev Tswj Xyuas Kev Lag Luam thiab coj mus ncig xyuas chaw ua haujlwm kom pom kev paub txog computer science hauv kev nqis tes ua.

Lub vaj huam sib luag, txhawb nqa los ntawm MacDonald-Miller Tus Lwm Thawj Coj ntawm Lub Tsev Ua Haujlwm Perry England, qhia txog rau STEM cov kws tshaj lij ua haujlwm hauv MacDonald-Miller qhov chaw. Thaum lub rooj sib tham, cov kws qhia ntawv tau kawm txog txoj hauv kev ua haujlwm txhua tus neeg ua haujlwm tau coj mus rau lawv txoj haujlwm tam sim no, lawv siv cov txuj ci uas lawv kawm tau li cas thoob plaws hauv lawv txoj kev kawm rau lawv txoj haujlwm, thiab qee qhov kev nyuaj uas lawv ntsib txhua hnub thiab lawv siv kev suav thiab tsim kev xav li cas. daws cov teeb meem no. Cov kws qhia ntawv tau taug kev mus nrog cov ntsiab lus nce ntxiv nyob ib puag ncig cov kev txawj uas lawv tab tom tsim hauv chav kawm thiab paub tseeb txog yam haujlwm twg muaj rau cov tub ntxhais kawm koom nrog hauv STEM. Ntau tus ntawm lub vaj huam sib luag tau hais txog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm kev grit thiab kev ua siab ntev. Thaum nug txog tus cwj pwm MacDonald-Miller tab tom nrhiav, Jeremy Richmond tau hais tias, "Kev txaus siab sim ua yam tshiab. Paub tias tsis ua li cas thov kev pab. Tej zaum kuv yuav tsis paub cov lus teb, tab sis kev paub txog leej twg yuav nug yog qhov tseem ceeb. "

VP Perry England ntxiv tias kev koom tes thiab kev sib koom tes yog qhov tseem ceeb. “Koj tab tom kawm lwm tus txoj haujlwm los ntawm kev ua koj txoj haujlwm. Kawm, daws teeb meem, thiab sib txuas lus. "

Tom qab lub vaj huam sib luag, cov kws qhia ntawv tau tawg mus rau hauv cov pab pawg me thiab tau mus ncig xyuas cov chaw pabcuam kev sib koom tes ntawm MacDonald-Miller. Cov kws qhia ntawv tau tham nrog cov thawj coj hauv kev tsim vaj tsev, tsim kev tshuaj ntsuam xyuas, tswj engineering, hluav taws xob engineering, thiab kwv yees. Yog tias koj tsis paub tias tag nrho cov haujlwm no txhais li cas - koj tsis nyob ib leeg. Tus naj npawb ntawm cov npe taw qhia rau ntau yam kev txawj ntse uas xav tau los ua kom yooj yim, niaj hnub, cov tsev ua haujlwm. Thiab qhov ntawd yuav tsis tso tseg nrog rau tiam no - cov kws tshawb fawb kwv yees kwv yees tias 85% ntawm txoj haujlwm muaj nyob hauv 30 xyoo tsis muaj nyob rau niaj hnub no. Qhov ntawd yog qhov pov thawj ntau dua tias kev kawm STEM muaj zog uas suav nrog kev daws teeb meem muaj tswv yim thiab kev xav nthuav dav yog qhov tsim nyog rau kev ua haujlwm tag kis.

Dr. Kareen Borders, Tus Thawj Coj ntawm West Sound STEM Network, tau hais tias 20 tus kws qhia ntawv tau taug kev deb ntawm kev ncig ua si tau txhawb nqa thiab txhawb nqa. "Qhov kev mus ntsib qhia txog kev sib txuas ntawm kev lag luam-kev kawm nyob ib puag ncig tswj kev siv thev naus laus zis thiab computer science rau cov kws qhia ntawv, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog thaum xav txog txoj hauv kev rau tsev neeg cov nyiaj ua haujlwm," Dr. Borders hais. "Ua tsaug rau MacDonald-Miller rau kev txhawb nqa thiab txhawb nqa hnub txuas kev qhia nrog txoj haujlwm ua haujlwm."

Cov kauj ruam tom ntej rau kev sib koom tes ntawm MacDonald-Miller thiab West Sound STEM Network yuav suav nrog kev pib ua haujlwm rau cov tub ntxhais hluas thoob plaws lub xeev, kom cov tub ntxhais hluas tuaj yeem koom tes nrog, kev kawm them nyiaj uas yuav ua rau muaj kev txawj ua haujlwm tawm hauv tsev kawm theem siab.
