Google has launched ‘Code with Google’ which provides free course curriculum on teaching computer science and a variety of programs to help students learn to code or build on their existing skills.
Google has further added Code with Google programs like how to enhance any subject, augment an existing CS course, encourage self-directed learning and is also offering scholarships and opportunities.
Google VP of Education and University Relations Maggie Johnson in a blog post wrote: “More than 65% of young people will work in jobs that don’t currently exist1. Learning computer science skills helps students thrive in a rapidly changing world. Yet our research with Gallup shows that many students aren’t getting the Computer Science (CS) education they need—and teachers don’t have sufficient resources to provide it.
“Code with Google helps to ensure that every student has access to the collaborative, coding, and technical skills that unlock opportunities in the classroom and beyond–no matter what their future goals may be.”
