Since the Obama administration announced the Computer Science for All initiative in 2016, momentum for computer science (CS) education has grown exponentially at the K-12 level. CS for All initiatives are designed to provide students valuable computational thinking skills applicable to various disciplines, to meet the expected economic need for people to fill computing-related jobs, and to ensure that technological advancements benefit a diverse society. These initiatives also carry an equity imperative--to enhance access and inclusion for historically marginalized individuals in CS education and lucrative CS career paths, empowering students to use CS to directly challenge unjust systems.
