Code.org is collaborating with College Board to work to expand computer science in U.S. high schools and increase the number of female and minority students taking computer science courses. Under the new partnership, high schools in 35 of the U.S.'s largest districts will be encouraged to offer Code.org's computer science course this fall. Targeted school districts are in cities including New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Code.org CEO Hadi Partovi says the nonprofit will provide the curriculum, tools, training, and funding to school districts that qualify, while the College Board will help fund the work if a school district agrees to use the PSAT to identify students who have potential in computer science. Code.org says it wants to build on the track record of its Code Studio, which offers online tutorials in the basics of coding. Partovi says one out of 10 elementary and middle school students nationwide have created accounts with Code Studio. He notes of those students, 43 percent are female, 22 percent are Hispanic, and 15 percent are African American.
