Broadening Access to Computer
Science Education Ideas for Securing U.S. Competitiveness & Economic Growth

What Is Computer Science?
Computer science education encompasses “the study of computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, hardware and software designs, applications, and impact on society.”
This fundamental knowledge is needed to prepare students for the 21st century, regardless of their ultimate field of study or occupation.
Computer Science develops students’ computational and critical thinking skills and shows them how to create, not simply use, new technologies.

Even though Computing Occupations will comprise over half of all STEM jobs in the U.S. by 2018, only 2% of all math and science AP tests taken
last year were AP Computer Science.

Countries now performing below
Massachusetts have a faster rate of improvement and will overtake
us based on current trends.
Countries that currently outperform Massachusetts are still improving at a rate close to ours, meaning it will take many
years for us to close the gap based on current trends.
At the current rate of change in student achievement, Massachusetts will not catch up with today’s top performers and will soon be overtaken by the fastest improving countries…

Achievement & Skills Gaps•By 2020, 50% of STEM field jobs in the U.S. will be in computing
– 3 of top 5 fastest growing fields in Massachusetts•23 of the state’s 378 public high schools taught a programming
class in which 10 or more students took an AP exam in the subject •In 2012, only 713 Massachusetts students took the AP
Computer Science exam, of which 43.6% scored below “qualified” •Just 139 of the test takers were female, 196 were low income,
48 were Hispanic, and 36 were African American. •Not only are we failing to prepare most students: we’re also
facing significant gender, income, and ethnicity gaps in computer science education.
Also Challenge for Computer Science
