It's been one year since the White House's 2016 announcement about the CS for All, an initiative to provide access to computing education to all K-12 children. 2016 seemed to be a celebration marking a decade of effort by researchers and educators to broaden the participation in computing. Where are we now? We still have plenty to celebrate.
Thanks to support from Jan Cuny and the National Science Foundation, the leadership of Lien Diaz at the College Board, and the efforts of thousands of CS researchers, educators, teachers, counselors, schools, parents, and kids, we can celebrate the creation and successful launch of a new course that is designed to promote equity and broader interest in computer science. May 5, 2017 is the first Advanced Placement CS Principles exam, and we anticipate over 30,000 high school students will take it. This is an important step in the right direction --- providing a computer science course that students in every state can someday access.
