(VIDEO) Weekly Address: Giving Every Student an Opportunity to Learn Through Computer Science For All

Posted by The 1461
President Obama discusses his plan to give all students across the country the opportunity to learn computer science in school.  President Obama notes that our economy is rapidly shifting, and that educators and business leaders are increasingly recognizing that CS is a “new basic” skill necessary for economic opportunity. The President referenced his Computer Science for All Initiative, which provides $4 billion in funding for states and $100 million directly for districts in his upcoming budget; and invests more than $135 million beginning this year by the National Science Foundation and the Corporation for National and Community Service to support and train CS teachers.  The President called on even more Governors, Mayors, education leaders, CEOs, philanthropists, creative media and technology professionals, and others to get involved in the efforts.
