Submission + - California Bill Would Require Computer Science for High School Graduation
The announcement came less than two weeks after Code.org CEO Hadi Partovi — whose goal is coincidentally to make CS a HS graduation requirement in all 50 states by 2030 — was a keynote speaker at the Association of California School Administrators Superintendents' Symposium. In an Oct 20 Facebook post, Berman noted he'd partnered with Code.org on legislation in the past and hinted that something big was in the works on the K-12 CS education front for California: "I had the chance to attend Code.org’s 10th anniversary celebration and chat with their founder, Hadi Partovi, as well as CS advocate Aloe Blacc. They’ve done amazing work expanding access to computer science education, especially for women & communities of color, and I’ve been proud to partner with them on legislation to do that in CA. More to come!"
