Built on Blockly
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.
Mildred Johnson
As a fifth-grade science and social studies teacher at North Salisbury Elementary School in Salisbury, Maryland, Mildred uses Google’s free computer science curriculum, CS First, to empower her students to create and share engaging class projects.
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.
From history to literature to current events, help students build practical computer science skills as they learn and create. Also, introduce them to new experiences and opportunities to advance their skills.
CS First is a free computer science curriculum for students ages 9-14 that makes coding easy to teach and fun to learn. 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.
Code Next is a free computer science education program that meets Black, Latinx and Indigenous high school students in their own communities, and provides the skills and inspiration they need for rewarding careers in computer science-related fields. Code Next reaches over three thousand students per year through an online program and physical labs and nearly 90% of recent 12th grade participants are now majoring in STEM fields.
Since 2004, We have awarded over $22 million in scholarships to 3,200 recipients across 150 colleges and universities. Our scholarship programs aim to support Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Women, Vets and students with disabilities studying computer science.
For over 15 years, we have equipped schools, educators, and students with resources to learn and teach computer science and digital skills, and we’re committed to working alongside communities to close CS education equity gaps. Since 2013, we have donated over $90 million to CS education-focused non-profit organizations.

The job market is changing, and employers are looking for skills that many students aren’t yet confident in.
By 2030, 9 out of 10 jobs will require digital skills. We believe that every student in every school deserves to have access to the tools and skills that will set them up for success in the job market of today--and tomorrow. We’re making digital skills resources accessible to more teachers, so students can develop job-ready skills to jump-start careers in fast-growing fields.
