\nGoogle has announced $20 million in new commitments to expand computer science education among communities that are underrepresented in the field. The company expects its funds to improve educational access for more than 11 million American students.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf we don\u2019t get this right, the gaps that exist today will be exacerbated,\u201d Google CEO Sundar Pichai said on Wednesday. \u201cTechnology will end up playing such a big role in the future. That\u2019s the fundamental reason we do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Google\u2019s goal in distributing funds, Pichai says, was to support groups with \u201cdeep expertise in education\u201d who work with underrepresented communities \u2014 including students in rural areas, as well as racial and gender minorities. <\/p>\n

The slate includes a mix of newer organizations and longtime Google partners. 4-H, receiving $5 million, has been working with the company since 2017. The Oakland-based Hidden Genius Project, also receiving funds, was a winner of Google\u2019s 2015 Impact Challenge.<\/a> Other beneficiaries include UT Austin\u2019s Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) Alliance, CUNY\u2019s Computing Integrated Teacher Education project, and the nonprofit CodePath. Urban funding will focus on Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Washington, DC, and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
\u201cLiving in the Bay Area… it\u2019s clear to me how many schools here have already transitioned and incorporated exposure to CS education as part of their curriculum,\u201d Pichai says. \u201cIt\u2019s important that this happens across the country, to rural areas, to places that are historically underrepresented.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIf we don\u2019t get this right, the gaps that exist today will be exacerbated.\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nGoogle will continue to be involved with the organizations receiving the funds and will have some degree of input over how the money is used, though Pichai stressed that the approach will be collaborative. \u201cWe are looking to partner and support organizations at this scale \u2014 clearly having goals and working together,\u201d Pichai said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t call it oversight as much as it\u2019s a partnership, and we are here to help these organizations succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll be helping every step of the way, but they\u2019re in the driver\u2019s seat,\u201d said Google.org Americas director Justin Steele.<\/p>\n\n\u201cWe are here to help these organizations succeed.\u201d <\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\n4-H plans to use Google\u2019s $5 million to expand and launch new in-person programs across Iowa, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. It also plans to expand professional development for its educators and support its online computer science education resources.<\/p>\n
The group has set a goal of \u201creaching\u201d 200,000 kids, adults, volunteers, and educators through CS programs by the year 2024 and will update Google regularly on its progress.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis $5 million grant from Google.org will have a major impact for the 4-H youth we serve,\u201d Jennifer Sirangelo, president and CEO of National 4-H Council, told The Verge<\/em>. \u201cThese resources will provide access to computer science education to youth nationwide, including six million 4-H\u2019ers and more than 3,500 educators across the 4-H system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s clear to me how many schools here have already transitioned and incorporated exposure to CS education as part of their curriculum.\u201d<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nComputer science education has been a hot-button topic among big tech companies in recent months and has been a particular pet issue for Google. Pichai, alongside hundreds of signatories, including Apple CEO Tim Cook and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, signed an open letter<\/a> in July that urged governors and educators to allow \u201cevery student in every school to have the opportunity to learn computer science.\u201d Google also partnered with Figma<\/a> earlier this summer to bring its design and prototyping platform to Chromebooks, with the stated goal of helping students try out software design.<\/p>\n
Better access to computer science education is certainly a benefit for students around the US \u2014 studies have<\/a> linked it with better problem-solving abilities, higher rates of college enrollment, and improved executive function. It\u2019s also, surely, a benefit for Google and its competitors to have a larger, more skilled, and more diverse talent pool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
