When the Seattle-based nonprofit Code.org launched in 2013 with a mission to spread computer science knowledge, co-founders Hadi and Ali Partovi enlisted some of the most successful coders on the ...
Overall, 57.5 percent of high schools offer foundational computer science courses, a 4.5 percentage point jump over last year, the largest since 2018.
Code.org and College Board are targeting that gap between the female and minority students who demonstrate potential for computer science and those who end up studying it, Partovi says.
The average starting salary for someone with a computer-science degree is significantly higher than that of a mid-career English graduate, according to the Federal Reserve; at Google, an entry ...
Amazon is making a $15 million donation to Code.org to help the Seattle nonprofit launch a new Advanced Placement computer science programming course aimed at underrepresented groups of students.
Computer science education will probably focus less on coding and more on computational thinking and A.I. literacy, said Mary Lou Maher, a director of the Computing Research Association.
For instance, about 15 percent of public high-schoolers in the 35 states that provided data to Code.org are Black, while 16 percent of the kids in foundational computer science courses are Black.
Computer science is generally understood as the study of computers and computational systems. These computational systems are, in turn, applied to solve real-life problems across diverse sectors.
