Help me out: What are the 2-3 big questions you'd like to ask tech giants like Apple, Google, Microsoft & Salesforce about why/how they are supporting #CSforall? @ruthef @shuchig @hadip @tompkinsstange @guzdial @BrendaDardenW @jeanettewing @dreamhustlecode @katyaskit @douglevin

But yes that overall narrative is generally correct. Lots of CS outreach efforts for decades, fantastic foundation of research by academia, then took off at scale after
@codeorg and#HourOfCode, recruiting presidents/leaders and CEOs and celebs
A common misconception in narrative is that $$ created the momentum. Teacher momentum came first, $$ followed. Then a virtuous cycle of support from all (leaders companies parents teachers students celebs).

The other common false narrative (that sells clicks) is that companies are inappropriately influencing schools. Parents want this, and the corporate efforts are mainly giving $ to support nonprofits and schools. (Even the biggest exceptions have had far less impact)
