Computer Science Matters
Computer Science Matters
Applied computer science and artificial intelligence now power every sector of our economy. By teaching students computational thinking, we equip them with the logic, data analysis, and problem-solving skills necessary to innovate in any career path.
Today, computing occupations account for over 317,000 annual job openings, with median annual salaries of $105,990—more than double the national median across all occupations (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Furthermore, 90% of parents nationwide support computer science education in K–12 schools (Code.org & Gallup), yet equitable access remains a challenge across our state.
CS4TX unites educators, industry leaders, and policymakers to advocate for state-level policies that expand K–12 CS and AI education. Partner with CS4TX today to help shape the future of Texas education.
Closing the Texas Access Gap
Closing the Texas Access Gap
Although Texas was an early pioneer in requiring high schools to offer computer science, a significant implementation gap remains. In the 2023–2024 school year, only 47% of Texas high schools offered computer science courses, and a mere 5% of high school students enrolled in a CS course (Texas Advanced Computing Center).
While neighboring and peer states back their policies with dedicated funding for teacher professional development, Texas risks falling behind in workforce readiness. CS4TX is actively pushing state leaders to fund educator training, expand access to underrepresented students, and keep Texas economically competitive.
