The Current Perspectives and Continuing Challenges in Computer Science Education study published by Google and Gallup shows us some interesting trends about computer science education. The results include interviews with more than 7,000 participants, including students in grades 7 through 12, parents and guardians of students in grades 7 through 12, teachers, principals and superintendents across the U.S.

While there is no singular solution to providing equitable, high-quality learning experiences for our youngest learners, we do know that by supporting proactive policies, professional development, and selecting research-based STEM curricula, we can better prepare the next generation of problem solvers.
