• Most of the STEM jobs in the next
    ten years will be in computer science
  • Fewer than half the people we need
    for these jobs are in the pipeline
  • A fundamental knowledge of
    computing is critical for today’s
    youth in a world where computers
    are ubiquitous
  • Parents and administrators often
    think kids are learning computer
    science in schools when they are not
  • We are often teaching basic
    “literacy” while students in the rest of
    the world are ready for the future
