To help more students access computer science (CS), especially students from underserved communities, Code.org is partnering with DonorsChoose to award $1 million to U.S. schools — that’s right, a MILLION dollars. This CS Education Week, one middle and high school in every U.S. state and D.C. will be awarded the CS Leaders Prize of $10,000 to help establish computer science education for their students.

Find an activity that fits your setting, whether in-class or after-school, in-person or virtual.
