A growing need for problem-‐solving skills,
across all jobs
Our State laws make it harder
In 27 of 50 states, CS doesn’t even count towards high school gradua4on requirements.*
*it’s required in UK, Germany, China, Vietnam
Our Vision:
every school
every student

curriculum, including 4 of the top 6
Proving use of blended learning § The holy grail: Learning CAN feel like a game
Proving use of blended learning § The holy grail: Learning CAN feel like a game § We can make teacher’s lives MUCH easier
Proving use of blended learning § The holy grail: Learning CAN feel like a game § We can make teacher’s lives MUCH easier § Web-based tutorials significantly reduce IT hassle
