Despite our increasing reliance on technology, there are not many opportunities for students to explore the field of computer science in MUSD. Although there is an AP Computer Science A course taught at MHS, this class was only just recently added, and based on the schools that I went to, elementary and middle schools do not have much access to resources to learn programming at school.

Since the AP class at MHS only teaches Java, it would be great if there were courses that teach other programming languages as well. There are many existing programming languages, such as Python and C, and they are all used for different purposes and careers. Giving students the option to choose whichever language that they wish to learn will allow them to focus on a specific tech path that they would like to pursue. As for students in middle school, having a block programming class offered as an elective can help people gain a general idea of what programming is like.
