A new coalition was announced yesterday morning. The Computer Science Education Coalition (CSEC) will encourage Congress to invest $250 million in funding for a crucially needed investment in K-12 computer science education.
At launch, CSEC has 43 members including Facebook, Microsoft, Accenture, Yahoo, Code.org, HP, Amazon, Google, Dropbox, STEM Education Coalition, TechNet, and IBM. I am proud to say that my company, Professional Options LLC is a co-founding member of the coalition.
“This coalition will build on a strong movement across the country supporting computer science education,” said Brad Smith, President of Microsoft. “We need this movement to ensure that today’s students have the opportunity they deserve to develop the skills that will be foundational for the future across the entire American economy.”
