Responding to calls from the White House and from the public, U.S. Dept of Education prioritizes funding for computer science. This is a great victory for K-12 computer science. Thank you to all @codeorg supporters and partners.https://medium.com/@codeorg/us-dept-of-education-prioritizes-computer-science-funding-64d47807d1dc …

Congrats K-12 CS education, but it seems the bottleneck in the pipeline is now at the undergrad stage -- might industry, gov help here too?

There are bottlenecks at all levels. 65% of K-12 schools don't offer a single class in computer science. Most US students can't sign up to learn computer science, whether in K-12 or in university. @codeorg is focused on addressing the K-12 problem.

Agreed,
@codeorg has made great impact. I was hoping to add other stakeholders to the effort. E.g., imagine what undergrad would look like if half that 65% did have access? I worry about that. Pls keep up the good work. - End of conversation
