Using Computer Science in High-Tech Health and Wellness Careers

Gr 7 Up—One message from this series is that students can learn about coding online by experimenting with animation studios and interactive story sites, and get insight into career possibilities by volunteering at conferences and networking with professionals. Separately authored titles vary slightly in tone and flow; Digital Gaming uses more techie language, while Criminal Justice is very beginner-friendly. All contain pop culture references, the latest apps, and new advances in the field. Format distractions include alternating font styles and changing backgrounds from black to white. Stock photos are more decorative than informative, but there is attention to explaining industry-specific vocabulary such as crunch (deadlines), modding (modifying), and microtransactions (ability to purchase virtual goods). One title mentions a "gender imbalance" in music production (mostly men) and offers names of organizations specifically for women.
