Creates grants to bring computer science education to all K-12 students.
This bill would create a new grant program to help schools across the country offer computer science classes from pre-kindergarten through high school. It aims to ensure all students, especially those from underrepresented groups, have access to this education. Currently, many schools lack these programs, leaving students unprepared for future jobs.
Today, only about 60 percent of public high schools offer a basic computer science course, and many students, especially from underrepresented groups, lack access to this education. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Education would set aside $250,000,000 over five years. This funding would go to grants for schools to expand computer science education from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The goal is for all high school students to have access within five years.
