“On Saturday, President Obama unveiled a plan to help students learn computer science. Mr. Obama says he’ll seek more than $4 billion from Congress to fund a new program called, “Computer Science For All.” The plan aims to reboot computer science education in public schools to better prepare kids for a future workforce. If funding is approved, the program would offer competitive grants to states and school districts with achievable plans on how to expand access to computer science and districts would need to describe computer science education plans that can be nationally replicated. Bonus points will be awarded for plans designed to attract more female and minority students.”(more)
