Computational thinking and computer science are ubiquitous. Students use technology all of the time, whether through their phones, video games, TV, or computers they use to learn. But computational thinking and computer science are also in every job, from doctors using technology and robots to save lives, business leaders using data to track trends and sales, to architects and engineers using 3-D modeling to design and build safe buildings.
And yet, there is very little diversity in who takes computer science classes, with barriers from access (some students may be in schools that do not offer CS classes), opportunities (some students may not take CS classes for a variety of reasons), and success (some students may not receive the supports they need to thrive, especially when the learning environment is chilly).
