At a time when every industry is impacted by digital technology, our schools should teach every student how technology works, to learn to be creators, not just consumers. Instead, this basic skill is taught only to the lucky few, leaving most students behind, especially young women and students of color.

Computer science provides an essential foundation — not only for careers in technology, but for every career in today’s world. 

Leaders have joined forces and signed a petition to update the K-12 curriculum in each state if the U.S., for every student in every school to have the opportunity to learn computer science. In our digitalized world, we should learn to code as we learn how to read and count! We need diverse people to create better tech for a better world! Be on board to promote computer science!
