Change the Equation
Even when students enjoy computer science and the arts the most
Our students should
learn to code…
Some may think:
Our students should
learn to code…
Our schools should teach computer science
Computer science is just about learning technology
Some may think:
Computer science is just
about learning technology
Computer science is about logic, problem solving, and creativity
First computer: 1943
First computer: 1943
Ada Lovelace
First computer program: 1843
Computer science is vocational
Some may think:
Computer science is vocational
Computer science is foundational
Technology affects every field
Every 21st century student should have a chance to learn about algorithms, how to make apps,
and how the internet works.
The tech industry is desperately trying to hire computer programmers in California
Some may think:
The tech every industry is desperately trying to hire computer programmers in California everywhere

The picture in [YOUR STATE]:
[insert #] open computing jobs
[insert #] computer science graduates
[insert #] high schools teach AP CS
believe offering computer science is more or equally as important as any required course.
83% of parents and 64% of principals in rural and small towns

The value of a computer science education
500,000 current openings:
These jobs are in every industry and every state, and they’re projected to grow at twice the rate of all other jobs.
Computing jobs are the #1 source of new wages in the United States
This problem is
about “STEM”
(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)…
Some may think:

The STEM problem is in computer science
K-12 computer science
University computer science
Software workforce
Women who try AP Computer Science in high school are ten times more likely to major in it in college, and Black and Latino students are seven times more likely.

Solving the diversity problem begins in K–12
Our state policies can help fix this picture…
Only 41 states have created K–12 computer science standards.
Momentum is building, but we still have a long way to go.
States with K–12 CS standards
States without K–12 CS standards
The state of K–12 computer
science standards
Computer science counts statewide
Computer science can count (school decides)
Computer science is an elective
CS can count for graduation in
All 50 states + DC
In all 50 states plus DC, computer science can count towards high school graduation math or science requirements - up from 12 states in 2013.
Underrepresented racial and ethnic groups taking an AP CS exam
Female students taking an AP CS exam

And, in schools that teach CS, enrollment is through the roof…
