The demand was such that major U.S. tech companies launched a campaign in the early 2010s encouraging high schoolers to learn to computer code, promising lucrative, stable careers once they finished college.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Texas universities are reworking their computer science curricula in response to the fast-changing job market.<\/p>\n<p>Computer science&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sanantonioreport.org\/ai-texas-universities-computer-science-job-market\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI is changing how Texas universities teach computer science https:\/\/sanantonioreport.org\/ai-texas-universities-computer-science-job-market\/ Publish Date: 2026-04-25 14:00:00 Source&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":235651,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sanantonioreport.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Brenda-Bazan-UTSA-cyber-center-cybersecurity-council-of-competetiveness-deborah-wince-smith-taylor-eighmy-11-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1922&ssl=1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-235650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235650"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235650"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235650\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":235652,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235650\/revisions\/235652"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
