vanipbs@google.comLearning computer science helps students thrive in a rapidly changing world—more than 65% of young people will work in jobs that don’t currently exist. Yet our
research with Gallup shows that many students aren’t getting the CS education they need and teachers don’t have sufficient resources to provide it. A comprehensive approach requires partnership and investment across the entire ecosystem (K-12, postsecondary ed and teachers/faculty) to improve racial, gender and other forms of diversity in the tech sector.It’s Google’s goal to invest in developing products, programs, and partnerships globally to make sure everyone has access to the collaborative, coding, and technical skills that can unlock opportunities in the classroom and beyond.
