1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Computer Science for All Act of 2023 . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) Computer science is transforming industry, creating new fields of commerce, driving innovation, and bolstering productivity. By 2029, computer science and information jobs are expected to grow by 11 percent, faster than the average of any other occupation. (2) However, as of 2019, the more than 900,000 computing and tech jobs unfilled in the United States suggests that our students are not being prepared to meet the demands of a 21st century economy. It is projected that there will be 8,000,000 new jobs in the technology sector by 2028 and 3,500,000 computing-related jobs by 2026, however, the current state of computer science education will only prepare enough computer science professionals to fill 19 percent of these jobs. (3) Knowledge of computer science and use of technology is increasingly essential for all individuals, not just those working or planning to work in the technology sector. (4) Providing students with computer science education in elementary school and secondary school is critical for student success, and strengthening the workforce of a 21st century economy. (5) While an estimated 90 percent of parents want computer science taught in their children’s schools, just 45 percent of all elementary schools and secondary schools offer high-quality computer science instruction that includes programming and coding. (6) Black and Hispanic workers in the science and engineering workforce continue to be underrepresented. Black employees represent 13 percent of the United States workforce, but only 5.6 percent of the science and engineering workforce. Hispanic employees represent 17 percent of the United States workforce, but only 7.5 percent of the science and engineering workforce. (7) While underrepresented minority students overall face an opportunity gap in STEAM education, women of color particularly face an achievement gap in science and engineering education. In 2019,
