For the artistic and for the athletic, you can learn to code.
For the math and science oriented, and the literary minded, you can learn to code.
For the dreamers and doers, you can learn to code.
For the young and the old, you can learn to code.
Anyone can learn to code!
At MentorsCloud.com, we believe students with all talents can learn programming. We believe our world will be better served if we infuse humanities with technology. Their new skills will give wings to their dreams and inspirations, and allow them to take their creative expressions to a wider world through digital means.
Coding can help students make a difference: Computing skills can allow them to work on creative
solutions to some of the world’s most complex and challenging problems. They can build
products and solutions to save lives, improve the environment, solve health problems or keep
the world connected.
Coding is team oriented: Computer scientists work as part of collaborative teams that require
many different kinds of skills.
Coding is flexible: Computing skills can allow you to work in any industry, and in any part of
the country. Many IT careers offer flexible hours or the option to telecommute, making it easy
to blend your career with your personal life.
Coding can provide great quality of life: CS is among the fastest-growing and highest-paying
fields in the US, earning the highest entry-level salary of any bachelor’s degree.
Computing jobs aren’t all about coding: Coding is an important skill for a computing job but
these jobs are about much more than coding. They are about working with others to design
and build new tools for people to use to make their lives better.
