Gonzalo Birrueta didn't just like playing video games as a kid; he liked thinking about how they were made. In middle school, he'd experiment with coding, watching YouTube videos for help. But it was easy to lose motivation — he didn't have many people he could talk to about coding in Quincy, a rural town of 7,000 perched above the Columbia River in Central Washington state.

The push for computer science education and computational thinking in K-12 schools is spreading across the nation, but many districts struggle with equity issues as they ensure economically disadvantaged students and students with special needs have access to the same resources. Springfield Public Schools is committed to ensuring all students in the district are able to learn computer science and computational thinking, and during a CoSN 2019 session, Paul Foster, the district's chief information officer, outlined how SPS is taking steps to ensure equity of access for all students.

Chris Aviles, a contributor for Tech&Learning, writes: "Four years ago, when I started a makerspace at my current school district, I knew I wanted to introduce my middle schoolers to coding. I had taught coding to a small group of high schoolers in an informal, club-like format before, but I'd never taught coding in a formal classroom setting. I was excited to teach my first coding lesson. I prepared slides and some sample Scratch projects to help students through the lesson. Then, not knowing any better, I introduced coding to students as a whole class lesson."

Desmond Hasty won't admit it, but every day inside his computer science classroom at Boys' Latin of Philadelphia Charter School is a struggle. Each day, Hasty stands in front of each child, no fewer than 15 per class, and tries to teach them one part of a STEM education that could prepare them for the rest of their lives. Some listen, some would rather sit in the cut and play Fortnite or watch YouTube videos.

The State Board of Education unanimously approved Wyoming's first computer sciences standards late last month, after a review committee reconvened in response to concern that a previous draft overloaded teachers at lower grade levels. The approval — on the back of a law passed last year requiring computer science be taught to all Wyoming students — marks a first for the state.

Lack of women in technical jobs — engineering, architecture, and software development, to name just a few — is often described as a "pipeline" problem: Not enough girls are choosing subjects at school that would open up those careers, meaning that there aren't as many female math and computer science grads as males for employers to hire, leading to a larger imbalance in those fields.

The world is awash in data on student performance in — and attitudes toward — science, technology, engineering and mathematics learning. The problem is that none of that information is particularly easy to find, and it's really hard to compile bits and pieces into a complete picture. Now the National Math and Science Initiative, a nonprofit that offers districts training on improving STEM learning, is trying to fill in the gaps. It's created a new tool to make it easier to look at patterns that affect how students do in those fields.
