Greetings!

The Ohio House will be making a decision about HB 170 -- the computer
science education bill -- in the next few days. We need to let them know
about the value of expanding K-12 computer science in our state.

Please follow this <http://go.pardot.com/e/153401/Code-23/jbz73l/200829261>
link to let your state representative know you support expanding access to
K-12 computer science!

We're asking the legislature to support HB 170. This bill would clearly
define computer science, require the state board to adopt standards for K-12
computer science instruction, would allow students to count an advanced
computer science course towards mathematics or science graduation
requirements, and clarifies certification requirements for teachers teaching
computer science.

Computer science is a foundational skill for K-12 students. It develops
students' computational and critical thinking skills and teaching them how
to create-not just use-new technologies. Computer science is driving job
growth and innovation throughout Ohio. More than half of projected jobs in
STEM fields are in computer occupations, and computer science is one of the
most desirable degrees from new college graduates. The proposed legislation
will expand access to computer science to thousands of Ohio's students,
preparing them for high-paying, in-demand careers.

Take <http://go.pardot.com/e/153401/Code-23/jbz73l/200829261> action here.

Thank you for your support!
