Change the Face of Computer Science
1,049Only 3% of Black students learn computer science in high school or beyond. Please watch and share this video. Inspire or encourage a Black student to try computer science, and let them know they belong. If your school doesn’t teach CS, visit http://Code.org/yourschool to take action. Together we can change the face of computer science.
The organizations partnering to launch this video are nonprofits led by people of color, all of whom have spent years on broadening participation and access.
