Episode 4: The Importance of Teaching and Learning Computer Science

In this fourth episode of our podcast series, Dimitria Terzieva and Nadya Stankova from Secondary School “St. st. Cyril and Methodius” speak with:

  • Stela Yaneva,
  • Maria Kecheva,
  • Sefani Apostolova – students in Secondary School “St. st. Cyril and Methodius” and
  • Stanislav Djurov, a student of Computer Science in the Technical University of Plovdiv and also currently a trainee for an IT company.

 

Together, they discuss how important Teaching and learning computer science are for the requirements of today’s digital world. What catches their thoughts is that all of the guests today consider that the computer science knowledge they receive at school and university is insufficient to prepare them for the digital world after graduation.
