About Code.orgOur goal is for computer science to be a fixed part of school curriculum.To support our goal, we do work across the education spectrum: designing our own courses or partnering with others, training teachers, partnering with large school districts, helping change government policies, expanding internationally via partnerships, and marketing to break stereotypes.Code's accomplishments ... demonstrate our ability to leverage those dollars into strong outcomes. But given our nonprofit ambition that every child in every school should have access to computer science -- to become literate citizens in today's digital world and to test their interests in exploring CS further as a career -- we have a long way to go to meet a fundraising goal that will support that vision.Code.orgCO_0afab810-8d73-11e4-8719-42a427151545Launched in 2013, Code.org® is a registered public 501c3 nonprofit, with support from the general public.
