Within the next few years, all preK-12 students in San Francisco public schools will be learning computer science, as I wrote recently. Chicago also has a plan in place for making computer science a core subject starting in kindergarten. The Avondale Elementary school system, a small district outside Phoenix, started teaching all its K-8 students computer programming last year. Smith, who led the coding initiative until this year, wrote in an email that Avondale is the "first primary grades district in AZ (and possibly the U.S.) to teach all students to code as part of their required curriculum." Avondale's students are largely Hispanic and a majority receive free-and-reduced lunch (an indicator of poverty).
