Equity Report

Accountability in Increasing Equity

It’s been a year since we last published our equity report, and we’ve experienced a lot of growth. We’ve focused our efforts to ensure that we really are doing what we say we’re doing: strengthening communities all over the nation and in other parts of the world, by creating more opportunities for teachers and students of all backgrounds to learn computer science.
‍
We have continued to work toward our goal to make computer science more accessible for underserved communities by working with educators with that same goal. We know that making computer science equitable requires concentrated effort by us, and educators that serve in communities all over the nation. To that end, we want to thank each of our partners for their passion and influence in helping us improve equity in computer science. We’ve been inspired by many this past year and will be sharing some of their stories on our blog here.
‍
We will continue to be transparent about the progress we’re making in improving equity in computer science K-12 education. In this report, we will share information about our user gender, race, disability, low income family percentages, and English language learning status. We have changed the way we collect our user demographic data this past year. We were careful to only include data that was viewable to the public.

To collect our user demographic data, we found the published demographic data for our current school and district site partner population as of December 2021. We partner with both schools and districts, and for that reason have decided to report our data in the same way. Not all of our partners were able to participate in this year’s Equity Report. We were able to report:

100% of our district partner demographic data
40% of our school partner demographic data

Our staff demographic data represents all of our full-time and part-time employees as of December 2021 and was collected by a survey. You can learn more about how we collected our data in the “Methodology” section of this report.

Our mission is to empower creators, grow problem solvers, and strengthen communities through education that’s accessible, engaging, and innovative for teachers and students.
