Every student deserves the chance to explore, advance, and succeed in computer science
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.

What you can do with Code with Google
Helping educators give their students confidence in CS, advance their skills, and prepare them for the future.
Computer science opens up possibilities for every student
CS First is a free computer science curriculum that anyone can teach. Designed for students ages 9-14 of all interests and experience levels, students learn collaboration and core computer science concepts as they create their own projects. Educators lead the way with easy-to-use lesson plans, tutorials, activities, and resources.
“The step-by-step videos allow all students to experience success. Also, teachers don’t need to be proficient in coding to start using the platform.”
Mildred Johnson, North Salisbury Elementary School

“Grasshopper showed me that no matter what, or who, or how I look, anyone can learn how to code. It opens up a whole new world for me.”
Ismael, Grasshopper user
A beginner coding app for any student
With the Grasshopper app, complete beginners can easily learn coding fundamentals for free. In as little as 5 minutes a day, students can complete fun lessons and visual puzzles on their phone to build their coding skills.
Nurture passions in technology
The Computer Science Summer Intensive (CSSI) is a three-week introduction to computer science (CS) for graduating high school seniors seeking to inspire the innovators of tomorrow — especially those from historically underrepresented groups in the field. It's an intensive, interactive, hands-on, and fun program supporting the study of CS, software engineering, and other closely-related subjects.
“The people I met at CSSI have become some of my best friends. We all support each other through the stresses of school, interviews, and life in general. I continue to be amazed by their warmth, humility, and brilliance.”
