Meet Our Sponsors
 
Improving computing science education is an essential aspect of ensuring that our citizens acquire the knowledge and skills that they need to succeed in an increasingly technological world, and that our industries and businesses have access to workers who can continue to push the boundaries of innovation and productivity. A partnership of both educational and business interests is therefore critical to ensuring that the educational changes we promote are effective, appropriate, and wide-reaching.

Google believes that all students should have the opportunity to become active creators of tomorrow's technology. Through our diverse set of education efforts, we invest in the next generation of computer scientists and engineers, providing opportunities for all students to engage more directly in technology. To do this, we focus our education efforts in four strategic areas, with an emphasis on computing in core curriculum. We believe by integrating computing across subject areas in K-12, students will experience the full power and utility of technology in areas of interest to them. This will have the key added benefit of leveling the playing field for all students to gain a deeper understanding of computing.
