Computer Science and Technology

Developing the skills and mindset for a rapidly evolving digital age

Computer science is one of the fastest-growing and highest-paying career fields. By developing the right skills and mindset for an ever-evolving digital age, students are better prepared for rewarding roles in this diverse industry.

West Virginia is a pioneer in making computer science instruction accessible to all students, including advanced courses and coding opportunities for middle and high school students. All WV students have access to age-appropriate computer science education to learn, engage, and create using these technologies.
