Take Action In Your State
Computer science has become an essential skill in today’s economy, yet our K-12 education system still lags in providing comprehensive computer science education. Despite the ever-growing demand for computer science professionals, many states and schools continue to not invest in this critical subject. We urgently need your support to champion key policy reforms that will expand access to K-12 computer science education. By implementing the policies outlined below, we can equip students with the skills they need to excel in high-demand, high-skill, high-paying jobs across every sector of our economy. The future of our workforce depends on it.
