The “Computer Science for All” initiative is meant to bring skills like coding into classrooms ranging from kindergarten through 12th grade, and to inspire young Americans to be creators instead of consumers in the “digital economy.”
“States and districts could use these funds to provide access to CS [computer science] courses to every high school student within five years, create a progression of CS learning experiences in elementary and middle schools, and ensure additional support and resources for students traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields,” the White House said in a fact sheet.
