Google Computer Science Education Research
Our research identifies strategies to improve perceptions of computer science and to broaden learning opportunities for all students. Our latest Google-Gallup reports Diversity Gaps in Computer Science and Trends in the State of Computer Science in U.S. K-12 Schools explore social and structural barriers for diverse students and changes on key measures over two years of research. Find these reports, as well as state reports and research briefs on girls, Black students, and Hispanic students at g.co/cseduresearch.
