Computing impacts all aspects of life, and there is an increasing need for computationally literate students in every discipline. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be 1.5 million computing jobs by 2021, which is three times more than all other STEM fields combined. However, the US can only meet 35% percent of this need. The best way to close this gap is to expand the CS workforce. 

We seek to substantially scale up the CS workforce, including participants from underrepresented backgrounds in STEM.
