As the technology sector works to solve its diversity problem it must grapple with a puzzle: why fewer women studying computer science? Today, less than 20 percent of computer science graduates in the U.S. are female, compared with more than a third in the mid-1980s. "You don't see the same gender disparity in other in other sciences as you do in computer science," says Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code, a nonprofit organisation that runs after-school clubs across the US for girls up to 12th grade (age 18). "There's much more gender parity in biology or [maths] than in computer science."

The state Legislature has approved a measure that would require Wyoming K-12 schools to provide all students with computer science instruction. Senate File 29 now heads to Gov. Matt Mead's desk for his consideration. Under the bill, schools would be required to provide computer science instruction to all students in each grade and provide standards on what students at each grade level are expected to master in computer science. The new course will be offered by the 2022-2023 school year.
