Learning digital skills and computer science helps students thrive in a rapidly changing world. It's our goal to make sure everyone has access to the collaborative, coding, and technical skills that can unlock opportunities in the classroom and beyond.
Educators give their students confidence in computer science (CS), advance their computational thinking skills, and prepare them for the future.
Google has committed over $240 million to closing computer science education equity gaps.

To expand computer science education and help students, especially those in marginalized communities, develop future skills, we partner directly with innovative organizations and support non-profits through Google.org funding.
Since 2012, we’ve freely offered Blockly, a developer library that powers the largest introduction-to-CS products worldwide. Blockly adds a visual code editor to web and mobile apps and uses interlocking, graphical blocks to represent code concepts like variables, logical expressions, loops, and more. Code.org, Scratch, Microsoft MakeCode and other developers use Blockly to teach computer science to over 40 million students every year.
