Some evidence that the AP CS Principles course is broadening participation in computing! Thanks to @NSF @CSforALL @codeorg and many others. – at Durham, NC
Great #CSEdWeek news: New data show AP Computer Science Principles students - especially Black, Hispanic, female, and first-generation - are more likely to major in computer science. Congrats to the teachers and students helping to diversify STEM!

@cspbjc recognizes all the hard work that our teachers are doing. Most of them had to move all their lessons online. Teaching #APCSP right now cannot be easy, especially keeping students motivated to complete the PTs.
