Join Tom Vander Ark as he discusses how deeper learning in computer science can better prepare students for success in today’s fast-changing world. This presentation will highlight why it’s not enough to simply teach coding—students need opportunities to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and ethical decision-making skills in an agile society. Tom will share insights on how deeper learning approaches empower learners to apply computational thinking across disciplines, adapt to new technologies, and tackle real-world challenges. Discover how schools can create learning experiences that not only build technical skills but also foster the curiosity, resilience, and creativity demanded by modern careers in tech and beyond.
