This week, America’s top CEOs, state governors, and education leaders have joined forces to ask Congress to support computer science in K-12 schools.
Despite the groundswell of support for computer science, most of America’s schools still don’t offer a single course in the subject. Although computer science is foundational to every 21st-century field of study and leads to the best-paying jobs, most students won’t get a chance at these jobs because computer science is not taught in their school.
Polls show that 90% of Americans want to see this problem solved, and now America’s most influential businesses are joining forces with governors and K-12 leaders to address it.
