About C.O.D.E
C.O.D.E is a relatively new pathway that students should begin to really consider as all careers uses technology in one form or the other. Someone has to develop and maintain the software so why not you! Teachers are C-STEM certified teachers and work closely with UC Davis to develop challenging curriculum for the students using robotics and proprietary software.
The courses are designed to provide students with access to various industry standard software to be able to develop and create Apps, webpages, creating, designing and developing databases that can be translated into real world scenarios. Students walk away with the knowledge to perform at an entry level positions in the technology industry. About 356,700 jobs are needed in this industry (bls.gov see below).
Competitions teams are available and strongly encourage for students to practice and build upon their knowledge of what they learned. Competitions or awards and scholarships available are:

Prerequisite: Computer Technology
Overall employment in computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations from 2023 to 2033. About 356,700 openings are projected each year, on average, in these occupations due to employment growth and the need to replace workers who leave the occupations permanently.
