The AISD STEM Academy Technology and Computer Science Pathway is designed to build student interest and engagement in computer science, and prepare Academy students for great career opportunities that require computational thinking.

The New York Times reported in 2018 that a stunning statistic is reverberating in cybersecurity: Cybersecurity Ventures’ prediction that there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs globally by 2021, up from one million positions in 2014. Despite industry-wide efforts to reduce the skills gap, the prediction has come true and the world’s open cybersecurity positions in 2021 is enough to fill 50 NFL stadiums.
