As more states and policymakers urge schools to expand K-12 computer science instruction, experts are examining the ramifications of some of the ways the subject is being integrated. With 47 states now allowing K-12 computer science to count as a math credit, Ohio State University assistant physics professor Chris Orban, writing in The Conversation, asks whether taking fewer math courses would leave some students less prepared for college coursework.

In 1995, NASA astronaut Dr. Bernard Harris became the first African American to perform a spacewalk. The occasion? His second space shuttle flight during a mission that included a rendezvous with the Russian space station Mir. In all, Dr. Harris ended up spending more than 18 days in space over two trips, traveling more than 7 million miles. Dr. Harris is well-known as an astronaut, but throughout his career he's also collected an impressive list of STEM credentials, including an M.D., a masters in biomedical science and training as a flight surgeon. Since returning to earth, he's focused on helping others do the same.

Back in 2013, before an overhaul of the E-rate program, just 30 percent of school districts were able to take advantage of digital learning. This year? That figure stands at a whopping 99 percent. That's according to a new report from EducationSuperHighway, a nonprofit that was a driving force behind the modernization of the federal E-rate program, one of the biggest success stories in education technology over the past decade. The nonprofit, which was founded in 2012 to expand broadband access across the country, has declared "mission accomplished" (well, almost) and is planning to sunset next year.
