[Year 12 SofDev] Help with Year 9 Careers in Coding Presentation

[rob]

Hi Daryl You will find useful videos in myFuture.edu.au <http://myfuture.edu.au/> and ace day jobs at the ABC. Secondly on YouTube there are bound to be better videos on careers in computer science but I have not looked for a while. I have found some of the Adobe videos on Animation and other aspects of multimedia good for this but since I have not done it myself for a long time I do not know if they are still there.
Hope this helps. 
Rob

If our numbers in Software Development classes don't double in the next few years then there must be something wrong further down in the high school food chain. If we make it easy for a Year 9 careers/homegroup teacher to present reason to code then our numbers should grow.
