Current Events #4

The article "Murphy Announces ‘Computer Science for All’ Initiative" from  https://njbmagazine.com/njb-news-now/murphy-announces-computer-science-for-all-initiatives/ was published in October 3, 2018. The article illuminates to the reader about what New Jersey will be doing to further advance their education. The governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy has taken initiative to add science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for all students in schools. More prominently, Governor Phil Murphy has funded 2 million dollars to support computer science courses, professional development for teachers for computer science, schools, and partnered up with "K-12 Computer Science, a bipartisan coalition of governors committed to expanding access and funding for Computer Science education." according to the article "Murphy Announces ‘Computer Science for All’ Initiative". Also, people have been congratulating Governor Phil Murphy for this initiative for placing computer science education to children.
I think that providing students with computer science is a well-thought out idea. There has been little opportunities for children to learn computer science in depth and with New Jersey's initiative, there can be more opportunities for students who want to do coding or build computers. Now with computer science backgrounds, students can get jobs in the computer science field which will help improve the economy and strive for innovation in the intellectual or bright minds of children. In fact, computer science classes should be a nationwide thing so that all students will have knowledge surrounding computer science. Also, computer science should be fun for everyone so that everyone can enjoy the subject just like any other subject in school.
