City unveils 20 schools to get software engineering program [amNewYork, New York]
(AM New York Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Feb. 25--The city unveiled 20 schools Monday that were chosen for a new software engineering pilot program that will start next school year, officials said.
The pilot, which will offer computer science training to children between sixth and 12th grades, will serve about 1,000 students, or 50 per school. It is expected to grow to about 3,500 students by 2016, officials said.
"We know it's vital to prepare our children to succeed in an increasingly technology centered economy and the software engineering pilot will help us do just that," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
Core topics will include computer programming, web design and programming, mobile computing, robotics and more.
