19. 500,000 current openings: These jobs are in every industry and every state, and they’re projected to grow at twice the rate of all other jobs.Computing jobs are the #1 source of new wages in the United States
20. This problem is about “STEM” (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math)…Some may think:

22. K-12 computer scienceUniversity computer scienceSoftware workforceWomen who try AP Computer Science in high school are ten times more likely to major in it in college, and Black and Latino students are seven times more likely. Sources: College Board, National Center for Education Statistics, Bureau of Labor StatisticsSolving the diversity problem begins in K–12
23. Our state policies can help fix this picture…
24. Only 41 states have created K–12 computer science standards. Momentum is building, but we still have a long way to go. States with K–12 CS standardsStates without K–12 CS standardsThe state of K–12 computer science standards
25. Computer science counts statewideComputer science can count (school decides)Computer science is an electiveCS can count for graduation in All 50 states + DCIn all 50 states plus DC, computer science can count towards high school graduation math or science requirements - up from 12 states in 2013.
