WHY CS FOR ALL?

• CS for All empowers our Nation's students with computational thinking: CS courses enable students to develop skills and competencies in problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration that will help them excel in today's increasingly digital and computational world.

​

• CS for All addresses an important workforce development need: There are over 600,000 high-paying technology jobs open across the U.S., and by 2018, 51 percent of all STEM jobs are projected to be in computer science-related fields.

​

• CS for All provides rigorous CS to all U.S. schools: CS is taught in less than 25 percent of K-12 schools across the country, and even fewer middle or elementary schools offer academically rigorous computer science experiences.

​

• CS for All expands access to CS: Women, girls, minorities, and persons with disabilities participate in computing in very low numbers, which is a loss of talent, creativity, and innovation for the discipline and the nation.
