About Code with Google
Studying computer science helps students thrive in a fast-paced world – over 65% of young people will work in jobs that currently don’t exist. However, our research with Gallup shows that many students aren’t getting the computer science education they need, and teachers don’t have the proper resources to provide it. Code with Google aims to ensure everyone learns collaboration, coding, and technology skills to unlock opportunities in and out of the classroom.
