Code.org District Program

Computer science is foundational for all students. More than 90% of parents want schools to teach computer science and students rank CS as their third favorite subject behind the arts. Computing occupations are now the fastest-growing segment of all professions and the majority of all U.S. occupations now involve "moderately digital" skills. Students who study computer science perform better in other subjects, excel at problem-solving, and are more likely to attend college, according to recent research.
